| Thanksgiving Is an annual, national holiday created by the human species. Although this holiday's purpose is supposedly to give thanks, humans have also injected into it the monumental and horrific injustice of breeding, executing, dismembering, eating tens of millions of victims, tens of millions of turkeys. This is wrong. Please, let's stop participating in committing these unjust and henious atrocities against these beautiful birds. Vegan, please! For all persons of other land and sea species. |

 Around this time of year, you'll hear a lot about turkeys who were raised “responsibly” by “farmers” who really “love their animals". This is all meaningless to those we victimize, whether in slaughterhouses or “humanely”. All the "humane" words serve only to distract us from the unavoidable injustice we impose on innocent and defenseless animals, for no other reason than to celebrate our “gratitude” — gratitude poisoned by domination and violence. Vegan, please! For all persons of other land and sea species. |

 "We stand in the presence of their vibrant minds, we come face to face with the undeniable expressions of their gentle souls, and instead of reaching out in recognition and in wonder, we dismiss them as nonpersons, we exclude them from the moral community, we deem them unworthy of life, we erase them from existence, we butcher, burn, bite their desecrated remains, and flush them as sewage." -Joanna Lucas |
