Where: Outside Donald’s Market, 2342 E. Hastings St., Vancouver

A PETA supporter hands out free vegan roasts at a previous giveaway.

“Each turkey is a unique individual who feels fear and pain and values their own life, yet millions of them are killed for this holiday alone,” says PETA President Ingrid Newkirk. “PETA is encouraging everyone to show turkeys and all animals kindness this Thanksgiving and go vegan.”

PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to eat”—opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview,

and offers a free vegan starter kit plus plenty of delicious ThanksVegan recipes on its website.
