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.”

“I’d also like to take this opportunity to gently encourage those of you who are planning to eat a traditional holiday meal to reconsider and instead extend your compassion to the 46 million turkeys who are cruelly raised and slaughtered just for this day by choosing to celebrate with a vegetarian Thanksgiving (that can still be really fun and delicious!). After all, how can we sincerely honor the themes of Thanksgiving (i.e. peace and gratitude) with a slaughtered sentient being in the middle of the table (http://www.goveg.com/factoryFarming_turkeys_farms.asp)?
