*The Sheds Were Already Empty*

Thanksgiving Tragedy: A Visit to a Turkey Farm
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lI7Sf0HxWmM>

A group of UPC activists in Northern California wanted to go to a turkey
farm a
few days before Thanksgiving to pay their respects to the birds destined for
slaughter. When they arrived, they were heartbroken to find they were too
late,
the sheds were empty, and there was nothing but a sprinkling of white
feathers
and silence. Please watch and share this important video and witness the
reality
of this heart wrenching holiday:

UPC Thanksgiving Dinner for Turkeys
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VX5hYIaR7cY>

Forty people attended a festive Thanksgiving celebration at UPC in honor of
Wanda and Willow, two rescued factory farm turkey hens adopted from Farm
Sanctuary. Washington, DC’s CBS channel 9 provided excellent coverage of our
dinner as did local radio stations and The Potomac Almanac newspaper. Allan
Cate
read aloud to an entranced audience including Wanda, *’Twas the Night
Before*
*THANKSGIVING*, by Dav Pilkey, giving thousands of TV viewers a chance to
see a
turkey enjoying herself in friendly company. PSYeta president Ken Shapiro’s
son,
Joel, contributed a wonderful story about three turkey gobblers who got
away!

As for us –

*”We feasted on veggies *
*With jelly and toast, *
*And everyone was thankful *
*(The turkeys were most!).”*
