Serena's Holiday Wish List: Adopt a Turkey and Spread Kindness with Farm Sanctuary
Serena, a rescue turkey at Farm Sanctuary in Watkins Glen, NY, is a devoted fan of Taylor Swift. The bird finds solace in Swift's music, particularly the song "Wi$h Li$t" from the album The Life of a Showgirl. Serena's holiday wish list includes sanctuary for all animals, no turkeys on Thanksgiving dinner tables, love and kindness, and forever homes for her and her fellow Farm Sanctuary friends.
Farm Sanctuary's Adopt a Turkey Project allows animal lovers to symbolically adopt a rescued turkey by making a one-time donation of $35. This initiative supports the care and protection of the turkeys at the sanctuary. For those who want to support more than one turkey, there is an option to "adopt a flock" for $135. The program aims to raise awareness about meat-free holiday meals and the importance of animal rescue.
In addition to Serena, other spokesturkeys at Farm Sanctuary include adventurous Zuzu, thoughtful Thelma, and charismatic Tutu. The sanctuary offers a personality quiz for potential donors to find out which spokesturkey they are most similar to. By participating in the Adopt a Turkey Project, individuals can contribute to the well-being of these rescued birds and help spread the message of compassion and kindness.
Farm Sanctuary highlights the staggering statistic that over 46 million turkeys are slaughtered annually for Thanksgiving meals. Through the Adopt a Turkey Project, the organization hopes to encourage people to consider a new holiday tradition of saving turkeys instead of consuming them. By supporting the sanctuary's efforts, individuals can make a meaningful difference in the lives of these animals and promote a more compassionate holiday season.
