Giving Thanks, Sparing Lives

Recognize the Right All Beings Have to Their Own Lives

Ever since I stopped eating animals, and noticed that I am still alive, I realize that:

1. We do not need to eat animals to survive.
2. Holidays are no less significant because an animal has not been consumed.

Quite the contrary actually, not eating animals allows for a more compassionate life.

Holidays are a time to celebrate family, community, health, and togetherness.

But how ironic that, in order to celebrate these values, it involves the confinement and slaughter of non-human beings.

Something about this way of thinking is just not right.

And something about this way of thinking…IS REALLY WRONG!

 

Here is a gentle suggestion as you approach this upcoming Thanksgiving holiday:

            Save A Life.

Join me in honoring those values of family, community, health, and togetherness by making your table animal-free.

Shannon Elizabeth said, “More than 46 million turkeys are confined in horrible conditions and slaughtered just for the Thanksgiving holiday. Turkeys are some of the most clever and gentle animals you’ll ever meet. If you are like me and oppose animal cruelty, start a new tradition and adopt a turkey from Farm Sanctuary’s ‘Adopt A Turkey Project'”.
