Robo-Turkey ‘Travis Beaker’ Struts Into West Palm Beach for Free Vegan Roast Giveaway

Turkey or Terrier for Thanksgiving?

Shoppers in New Mexico were met with a “roasted dog” as the centerpiece of a shocking spread. The display points out to potential turkey-eaters that Tom and Toto are the same in all the ways that matter—and neither wants to be carved up for a meal.

A 20-foot-tall “crying elephant” surrounded by animal advocates rallied outside the Carden Circus to call for the release of Betty, an elephant who shuffles slowly on her stiff front legs that hurt to bend, drags her trunk on the ground due to apparent paralysis—likely due to being forced to stand on her head and put several tons of weight on her trunk for decades—and is suffering from painful cracks in her toenails.
