Opt to adopt a turkey this Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving a family-sized frozen Butterball turkey costs about $20, which is the same price tag for saving one from the chopping block. Lovers of live turkeys can “adopt” a bird from Farm Sanctuary’s property in Watkins Glen, N.Y., for $25. In exchange donors receive a color photo of their grateful turkey, a certificate, and a subscription to the Farm Sanctuary newsletter. Kim Basinger and Casey Affleck are proud celebrity turkey adopters. Vegans and vegetarians with safe homes can even have their rescued gobbler delivered to them on the “Turkey Express” to be kept on the family farm. Visit AdoptATurkey.org for details.
