Adopt a Turkey

Instead of eating a turkey this thanksgiving, why don’t you adopt one!

"Save a life this Thanksgiving, and join me in starting a new tradition by adopting a turkey instead of eating one through Farm Sanctuary's Adopt-A-Turkey Project."

Farm Sanctuary, the nation’s leading farm animal protection organization, has organized the annual Adopt-A-Turkey Project since 1986. This Thanksgiving, with Ellen’s help, thousands of families will save turkeys, instead of eating them, by adopting a feathered friend who lives at Farm Sanctuary’s New York or California Shelter. For a one-time donation gift of just $30, adopters will receive a special Adopt-A-Turkey certificate, featuring a color photo of and fun details about their new friend, and the great feeling of knowing they are sponsoring the care of a turkey who has been rescued from cruelty. These donations help Farm Sanctuary educate and advocate for turkeys, and other farm animals, everywhere. This year’s “adoptable” turkeys include: Velma, Daphne, Kima, Harley, Reese and Jordan. The Farm Sanctuary also sponsors a Celebration FOR the Turkeys. People come from far and wide to celebrate turkeys and feed them on this special day. Instead of being killed and eaten on the dinner table, these turkeys get to eat a food off of a dinner table! They are given a feast full of vegetables and goodies. I absolutely love this idea.
Every living creature deserves a special day :)
