On Thanksgiving, many Canadians give thanks for the wonderful things in our lives, including friends, family, and health.<\/p>\n

But turkeys killed and eaten for Thanksgiving dinner have nothing to be thankful for. Over 20 million turkeys<\/a> were killed for food last year alone<\/strong>\u2014many of them destined for Thanksgiving meals. Raised in appalling conditions on Canada\u2019s industrial turkey facilities and shipped to slaughter, their lives are bleak and filled with suffering.<\/p>\n

Undercover footage has exposed brutal conditions, abusive transport, and botched killing in the turkey industry. In one\u00a0expos\u00e9 of a Kitchener, Ontario turkey farm<\/a>, workers were seen punching, throwing, and kicking birds, hitting them with metal rods and shovels, and crushing their spines.<\/p>\n

And\u00a0footage from a turkey slaughterhouse in Abbotsford, British Columbia<\/a>\u00a0shows painful, botched killings. Multiple turkeys are improperly stunned, thus fully conscious when their throats were slit with a metal blade. Many birds missed the blade, and were then dragged vats full of boiling water to remove their feathers. This killing process is standard in the turkey industry.<\/p>\n

Disturbingly, there are no federal regulations protecting turkeys and other farmed animals from horrific suffering while on farms.\u00a0And expos\u00e9s of turkey farms are under threat from dangerous\u00a0<\/strong>new agricultural gag (\u201cag gag\u201d<\/a>) law\u2014seeking to punish animal protection advocates who expose widespread animal suffering behind the closed doors of farms. Animal Justice is challenging Ontario\u2019s ag gag law in court. <\/p>\n

Turkeys are curious, friendly, and sensitive birds with big personalities. They can live up to 15 years, and are known to be caring parents who love to explore.<\/p>\n

You can help turkeys this Thanksgiving by choosing to spare a bird and make a delicious plant-based meal<\/a> for your family, and by speaking out against ag gag laws<\/a> that aim to hide their suffering.<\/p>\n
