Ellen DeGeneres is the spokesperson for this year’s Adopt A Turkey event from Farm Sanctuary.

The vegan actress is asking everyone to adopt a turkey that resides on the sanctuary grounds in lieu of having one on their dinner plate.

“Did you know that every year between 250 and 300 million turkeys are bred for slaughter in the United States?” DeGeneres asked. “More than 46 million for Thanksgiving alone. So, this Thanksgiving instead of eating a turkey, please join me in adopting one from Farm Sanctuary’s Adopt-A-Turkey Project and you can give a turkey something to be thankful for.”

Is one of daytime TV’s most liked talk show hosts starting a career as a serial writer?

Ellen DeGeneres‘ next book Seriously I’m Kidding is scheduled for release in October. Ellen has never shied away from discussing the events that led to her veganism, so it’s a good guess she’ll touch on her lifestyle in this book too.

Even better for her vegan fans, Ellen may be releasing a cookbook in the future.

Ellen DeGeneres is showing her beautiful vegan face on the October 2011 issue of Good Housekeeping magazine.

Inside, the talk show host discusses her love of animals, including the animal charities she’s worked with.

She’s donated her time and money to animal welfare organizations like Humane Society and sanctuaries like The Gentle Barn, but would you call her an activist?

Maybe a “compassionist” would better define her.

“Seal hunting is one of the most atrocious and inhumane acts against animals allowed by any government. Canada is allowing the slaughter of a record number of seals in their 2011 hunting season, which is going on right now. The seals are often younger than 3 months old. This has to stop. To my friends and fans in Canada: please help put a stop to this.”

–Ellen DeGeneres, on a post to her show’s website, calling for fans to donate to help end the seal hunt. This year, the Canadian government has set a quota for 468,200 seals that can be killed.

Ellen DeGeneres recently featured authors Kathy Freston and Tal Ronnen on her show for a vegan segment.

Freston helps one family make the gradual transition of adding more vegan meals into its diet to combat some health problems like high cholesterol.

This is a family that professes to eat meat every day and they’re completely open to the idea with one caveat: dad hopes his beer doesn’t get taken away.

“I wish we lived in a world where caring for animals wasn’t so rare that it deserved an award. All I do is treat animals with the respect and dignity they deserve. I hope someday soon, everyone does the same. PETCO and the PETCO Foundation have made great efforts to protect animals and I commend them for going above and beyond the call of duty.”

–Ellen DeGeneres, on accepting the PETCO Foundation’s HOPE Award given to public figures that promote the bond between humans and animals. The awards ceremony will be held in San Diego, California on April 30, 2011. DeGeneres is the co-owner of Halo Pet Food, a natural line of food for animals containing only human-grade ingredients. Last year, Halo partnered with several non-profit organizations like Freekibble, The Humane Society of the US, ASPCA, Pets for Patriots, and The National Canine Cancer Foundation to donate 1 million pet meals to over 100 shelters across the United States.
