Ask anyone on the PETA staff and they can tell you about lots of people—even hard-nosed, stalwart, meat-eating relatives—who've seen one little video clip and changed their minds about turkeys. Help everyone opt for that delicious Tofurky instead of a slice of contaminated dead turkey by cuing up one of our funny little PETA Thanksgiving public service announcements (PSAs) to provide helpful insight into why a cruelty-free feast is the way to go.
If you're looking for something a little longer to watch while you digest that last slice of pumpkin pie, check out the PBS special "My Life as a Turkey." which tells the story of a man who "mothered" 16 abandoned turkey chicks.
Happy Thanksgiving!
