Happy Thanksgiving! 🍁🦃 And a HUGE thanks to everyone who came out for our Thanksgiving WITH the Turkeys event on Saturday! We had a great turnout - over 1,100 people! The rescued turkeys - Robin, Chauncey, Odie and April, and all their friends enjoyed their special treats of chopped greens, tofu, grapes, cantaloupe, corn and bread crumbs. (They were a little intimidated by the crowds, but Albert our blind sheep had no problem eating off the tables, since he couldn't see the large number of people in front of him, haha!) After their introduction all the people feasted on a delicious vegan potluck with some amazing food, and strolled around to visit the other animals, purchase items in the gift shop, and check out Mark Peters' table where he was signing copies of his awesome new book, 'Voices of the Herd'. Then everyone carried their pumpkins from the tables and had a great time throwing them to the happy pigs! We really appreciate everyone's support - it was a wonderful way to celebrate new traditions with a kind and cruelty free holiday, where instead of being on our plates, the turkeys are the guests of honor. Thanks to everyone who came out and donated and brought a dish, to all the staff and volunteers who worked so hard to make this such a successful event, and to Maureen McGowan for all the great photos! Special thanks to the staff at PCRM who helped us set up all the tables and decorations a few days before. We hope everyone has a happy, healthy and compassionate holiday!
