As we approach another Thanksgiving season, we are confronted with disturbing footage showcasing the unacceptable abuse turkeys endure from line workers. This ordeal is not just a disconcerting sight to bear, but a question of the ethical treatment of animals within our food production processes.

This matter is deeply personal, as it casts a shadow on the joyful festivity of Thanksgiving. Instead of reveling in gratitude and shared bounty, we are reminded of the undue suffering inflicted on these innocent creatures.

According to the U.S Department of Agriculture, over 244 million turkeys were raised in the United States in 2019. It's a heartbreaking thought, then, that many of these turkeys may have endured similar maltreatment before reaching our dinner tables.

There are responsible methods to prepare these animals for consumption, methods that comply with animal welfare standards and provide them a decent and dignified end. We firmly believe all animals deserve this basic right, and therefore, we demand the cessation of such abuse by workers in the turkey production industry.

The turkeys we share on our Thanksgiving tables should represent a celebration of life, gratitude, and respect for all creatures. We should not have to question the morality behind the food we consume, especially during the holiday season.

Help us make a change. Root out cruelty from the equation, and let's ensure our food production processes honor the spirit of Thanksgiving by treating all creatures with the respect and dignity they deserve. Please, sign this petition to end the inhumane treatment of turkeys by line workers.
