Guest guest Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 East Bay Animal Advocates Action Network *November 2004 Special Alert* As family and friends gather for Thanksgiving this year, nearly 45 million turkeys will be killed for holiday dinners across America. Both industrially- and free-range-raised turkeys live in confinement and are subjected to ongoing physical injury to produce meat products. Since 1975, turkey consumption has increased by 113 percent, the National Turkey Federation reports. By the end of 2004, an estimated 263 million turkeys will make their way to a final, unfortunate destination--the slaughterhouse. ------------------------------- You Can Help Join East Bay Animal Advocates this holiday season to protect turkeys. Through public outreach in the San Francisco Bay Area, EBAA will inform consumers about the plight of turkeys and give individuals effective tools for reducing farmed animal suffering. To volunteer, email info or call (925) 487-4419. Learn how you can help: * On November 6 7, EBAA will have an exhibit at the 2004 Green Festival in San Francisco. This is the perfect opportunity to inform environmentally-conscious individuals about the lives of turkeys, especially free-range birds. If you are interested in staffing the exhibit, we would love your help. * One of the best ways to raise awareness about factory farming is to serve free vegetarian food to holiday shoppers. Outside food markets in the East Bay, advocates will distribute information on vegetarianism and serve delicious vegetarian 'turkey' to customers.
