Ady Gil, animal lover, founder of American Hi Definition and Sweetwater Digital and benefactor to the Sea Shepherd Society, is aiming to save more turkeys this year with your help.
From now until November 25th, Gil will sponsor an additional turkey for every one sponsored through Farm Sanctuary’s Adopt-A-Turkey program.
He originally offered to sponsor another turkey up to $20,000, but after that amount was raised in just a few short days, he raised the offer to $50,000!
“Thanksgiving is a symbolic holiday,” said Gil, in a press release. “I don’t believe we should celebrate by killing another species. Every animal, including turkeys, deserves to see the light of day, go to sleep and wake up without finding themselves on someone’s plate. This is a time to show people that we can celebrate without causing suffering.”
“We are deeply moved and grateful for Ady’s generous support,” says Gene Baur, president and co-founder of Farm Sanctuary. “His dedication to ending the suffering of turkeys, and all farm animals, is an inspiration to anyone who opposes animal cruelty and wishes to protect the most vulnerable and abused creatures among us. Ady will allow us to help more turkeys and educate more people this Thanksgiving, and for that we are very thankful.”
For $30, you can adopt a turkey and receive a photo and information about your newly added family member. Money raised from the annual program help Farm Sanctuary educate and care for turkeys and other farm animals, which undergo stressful conditions on farms before they are even slaughtered, as they as raised to gain weight quickly, kept in crowded conditions and subject to procedures, such as de-beaking to combat behaviors that arise in farm animals.
