Timely Turkey Rescue: A Humane Thanksgiving Twist

With Thanksgiving approaching, consider adding a compassionate twist to your holiday by participating in the Adopt-a-Turkey Project. This initiative allows you to adopt a turkey rescued from factory farms, helping to support all farm animals. For a $30 donation, Farm Sanctuary provides you with an adoption certificate featuring your chosen turkey's picture, while the turkeys remain safely at the sanctuary.

The Adopt-a-Turkey Project began in 1986 to raise funds for Farm Sanctuary's original refuge in Watkins Glen, N.Y. It encourages new family traditions that supportanimal welfarerather than consumption. This year, you can adopt turkeys like Robin, Pamela, Jackie, Pepper, and Christina, or contribute to the memorial adoption in memory of Turpentine, a beloved turkey.

Gabby and Asia, the immortal tabby, explored the list of turkeys and decided to honor Turpentine's memory with their donation. They also prepared new recipes for mac and cheese and cheddar quiche, with approval from their brofur Charlie, the black cat.

On the topic ofanimal welfare, Gabby received concerning news from Deniz Bolbol at the American Wild Horse Conservation (formerly American Wild Horse Preservation). Whole Foods markets are linked to ranchers involved in a wild horse roundup in Oregon, aiming to remove 1,400mustangsfrom the Beatys Butte Herd Management Area, a federally designated wild horse habitat. If successful, 2,000mustangscould disappear from Oregon's range this year.

The American Wild Horse Conservation has urged Whole Foods to adopt a mustang and burro safepolicy, prohibiting the sale of beef or lamb from animals grazing on public lands in wild horse habitats. Gabby reached out to Whole Foods for comment, and Michael Silverman from Global Corporate Communications responded:

Gabby is awaiting a follow-up from Whole Foods to confirm whether they will continue selling Country Natural Beef products. Stay tuned for updates.
