San Francisco: Give Turkeys Something to Be Thankful For

 

PETA's Action Team Alert

http://www2.peta.org/site/R?i=4762CioMomqTAPcuzbxjBQ..

 

 

Dear Nora,

 

Please join PETA and our " turkey " mascot to hand out free Tofurky

roasts in San Francisco on Tuesday, as part of our Tofurky tour

to promote a vegan Thanksgiving. Help us reach people's hearts through

their stomachs by urging consumers to stay true to the holiday spirit

this Thanksgiving and give turkeys something to be thankful for.

 

More than 300 million turkeys are killed in the U.S. every

year & mdash;including 40 million for Thanksgiving alone. Turkeys in

nature are known to be protective and loving parents as well as fast

runners who are able to use reason to outwit their pursuers. But most

turkeys killed for food are crammed into windowless warehouses, where

disease, smothering, and heart attacks are common. Turkeys are drugged

and bred to grow so large so quickly that their legs are often unable

to withstand the weight of their massive upper bodies. Countless birds

slowly starve to death within inches of food after they become

crippled and are unable to move.

 

Posters and leaflets will be provided, so just bring yourself and

anyone you can recruit to join you. When replying, don't forget to

mention the demonstration that you want to attend. To RSVP or for

questions about this event, please contact Ashley Byrne at

757-274-9675 or AshleyB.
