What is the Adopt-A-Turkey Project?
This year marks the 23rd anniversary of Farm Sanctuary’s Adopt-A-Turkey Project. This national project has saved more than one thousand turkeys from slaughter and has encouraged millions of people to rethink their traditional Thanksgiving menus. The Adopt-A- Turkey Project offers ideas and solutions for people who wish to celebrate a compassionate Thanksgiving holiday and start a new tradition by saving a turkey, instead of eating one. Some families are adopting turkeys into their homes – where rescued birds live out the rest of their natural lives in peace and safety – while others are “adopting” turkeys who live at Farm Sanctuary through sponsorship donations.
