~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanksgiving is a time to celebrate life... not destroy it.
Please join our efforts to bring a Gentle Thanksgiving to your community.
**********************************************************
Why We Need You:
Each year, 45 million turkeys are killed for Thanksgiving alone.
~~~~~~~~
No laws protect turkeys from cruelty in slaughterhouses and factory farms.
All birds are excluded from coverage under the federal Humane Slaughter Act.
~~~~~~~~
Turkey farms produce 10 billion pounds of manure, much of which ends up in our
rivers and drinking water.
**********************************************************
Here are ways you can get involved:
- Host a Gentle Thanksgiving and invite family, friends and acquaintances to
join you. This is a friendly way to introduce the great taste and many benefits
of a cruelty-free diet.
- Coordinate a public dinner. A great form of outreach, public dinners can be
held at local churches, community centers, veg-friendly restaurants, or any
other location you see fit. Consider making it a potluck, hiring a caterer, or
asking volunteers to donate food for the occasion.
- Request free postcards for distribution. Our colorful cards offer free
recipes and a Veg Starter Kit. Leave them at stores all month.
- Call your favorite local radio talk show to educate others about Gentle
Thanksgiving, turkey-alternatives, and the numerous advantages of a healthy,
plant-based diet.
- Place a Gentle Thanksgiving web banner on your website.
FOR DETAILS, VISIT WWW.GENTLETHANKSGIVING.ORG.
Be sure to register your plans with us. Registering allows us to list your
event and city in the Gentle Thanksgiving Events Directory. Your event will
help generate media and inspire others. Together, we will demonstrate the true
meaning of Thanksgiving and the popularity of meat-free living.
Thank you for saving animals!
