Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things, man will not himself find peace.

Adopt-A-Turkey

This year, our family joined Farm Sanctuary in adopting a turkey for Thanksgiving! Among the many animals at the organization's two sanctuary locations are turkeys that otherwise were living miserable existences at factory farms. Every Thanksgiving, Farm Sanctuary provides people with the opportunity to adopt a turkey, providing them with resources to care for these and other animals. This year we adopted Payton, a turkey who lives at their California shelter. Christopher was the official adopter and received the certificate he is holding above. The certificate tells about Payton, his personality and favorite foods, and provides a picture too. Chris is very proud of his turkey and we read about Payton every morning at breakfast. If you are interested in adopting a turkey through Farm Sanctuary, visit www.adoptaturkey.org.
