Know any compassionate educators? Pass along this exciting Thanksgiving contest!

[Guest guest]

To celebrate Thanksgiving, PETA's humane education division, TeachKind is

celebrating what we're thankful for: turkeys! Turkeys are intelligent animals

who enjoy having their feathers stroked and listening to music (and they often

sing along quite loudly!). In nature, turkeys can fly 55 miles an hour, run 5

miles an hour, and live up to four years.

 

To commemorate the holiday and help students learn more about who these

sensitive animals really are, we're offering teachers and their classes a chance

to " adopt " a turkey! The winning class will get to name a turkey who lives at

Poplar Springs Animal Sanctuary in Maryland and will become the " adoptive "

parents of the turkey. The winner will even receive a picture of the turkey to

hang up in their classroom!
