This is Juniper, the turkey I adopted as part of the Farm Sanctuary's Adopt-a-Turkey project. They are encouraging people to adopt a turkey for $20 instead of eating one this Thanksgiving. Farm Sanctuary is an organization that has been very special to me ever since I read about it in Nicole Georges' Invincible Summer zine (which was also the zine that persuaded me to finally go vegetarian). They run shelters in New York and California for rescued farm animals.
So, no preaching, but I encourage you to check out the Adopt-a-Turkey and Farm Sanctuary websites. The Farm Sanctuary site has lots of rescue stories with adorable photos (for some reason, this cow reminds me of my doggy, Sammy). The Adopt-a-Turkey site has some really good information on the turkey industry and some yummy-sounding vegetarian Thanksgiving recipes.
