Atlanta – Ahead of Thanksgiving, a PETA “chick” wearing a turkey-themed showgirl outfit—complete with a bright orange faux-feather tutu—will give away turkey-free holiday roasts and free “ThanksVegan” recipe guides at the Kroger entrance to the Atlanta Beltline Eastside Trail on Sunday to encourage people to enjoy a vegan holiday and give birds a break.
When: Sunday, November 19, 1:30 p.m.
Where: At the Kroger entrance to the Atlanta Beltline Eastside Trail, north of North Avenue N.E., Atlanta (Please see the Google Maps link here.)

“Turkeys feel pain and fear, experience joy, value their lives, and don’t deserve to be carved up and stuffed any more than we do,” says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. “PETA’s tutu-wearing ‘turkey’ is urging everyone to show a little mercy by tucking into savory, satisfying vegan roasts that give everyone something to be thankful for.”
PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to eat”—opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview.
