Next week, two important events will occur. First, on
Thursday, our country will celebrate Thanksgiving. This year as everyone
sits down with family and friends for their annual Thanksgiving feast I
hope that we invite compassion to our table. Every year with weak
government regulations over 40 million turkeys are slaughtered in the
United States. Prior to a cruel death the birds are crowded into factory
farms with less than three square feet of space. Disease, extreme
sufferings, along with filthy conditions create a living hell for these
birds.
Please reconsider eating meat this year, and ending fall
traditions that causes so much pain for our animal friends. In our
Sunday, November 21st, issue, we will be bringing you a complete
thanksgiving menu that is cruelty free. This is the second year we have
done this, and we feel that it is better to sit down with family and
friends, offering a prayer of thanks, when there isn't the remains of a
tortured and murdered body posing as the centerpiece of the table.
The other important even this coming week is the day
after Thanksgiving which is the annual Fur-Free Friday. Each year
concerned citizens make their voices heard in protest of the killing of
animals for fashion and vanity. We will dedicate our November 24th issue
to the subject of Fur.
In today's issue, we will bring you not only information
on turkeys, but also on upcoming Fur-Free Friday events that you can
take part in. Let's support our furred and feathered friends.
