These are the faces of your Thanksgiving “dinner.” They are sentient, terrified beings, crammed together, covered in their own feces. This is nothing to be thankful for. Streamed live from a turkey slaughterhouse in Iowa.

I stayed with them for hours. In the Iowa cold. They were terrified. Covered in feces and sores. Wheezing from respiratory infections and the weight of their overgrown bodies. Some already dying.
This is nothing to be thankful for.
These are the faces of your Thanksgiving “dinner.” They are individuals, not a tradition.
Even at this small Iowa slaughterhouse, over 20,000 turkeys a day are killed.
Open your eyes to the truth.
It doesn’t have to be this way.

Absolutely shameful, particularly for a country and world that considers itself civilized, enlightened, caring, compassionate. Why I cringe at the approach of this so-called holiday season, knowing full well this barbarity occurs without stop every day. I am fully aware that feeling anger, resentment, contempt for the human race (or at least that huge portion of it that willingly participates in this horror) is unhealthful for either my own disposition or the plight of the animals that suffer at “our” hands. But it simply boggles my mind that the vast majority of people are so unaffected or even unconcerned about how we so blithely treat our non-human brethren. I wonder if they would be so inclined to pardon us.
