Every Thanksgiving tens of millions of turkeys are murdered so that a traditional meal can be enjoyed.

"Turkey day" almost sounds as if it’s a celebration of turkeys but it would be more accurate to call it “45 Million Turkeys Get Murdered Day.” On a holiday that is about giving thanks and being grateful, we should be celebrating life, not taking it. https://www.onegreenplanet.org/animalsandnature/reasons-to-love-turkeys/
Many often think, if only it's "humanely raised" that will resolve the ethical dilemma of eating this sweet, intelligent bird. But reports now show that there is really no such thing as "humanely raised" turkey (or other animals for that matter). https://people.com/pets/new-report-shows-humanely-raised-label-on-thanksgiving-turkey-may-not-be-true/
In natural conditions, turkey hens are devoted mothers who care diligently for their babies. Young turkeys learn survival info from their mother, including what to eat, how to avoid predators, the layout of the home range & important social behaviors. https://freefromharm.org/animal-cruelty-investigation/12-reasons-you-may-never-want-eat-turkey-again/
At factory farms:
-Workers kick, stomp, drag and throw turkeys.
-Baby birds are ground up alive.
-Turkeys have their toes and beaks cut or burned off without painkillers.
-If injured they're left to suffer and die without care. http://www.butterballabuse.com/

"Turkeys have been so manipulated by farmers to produce the best Thanksgiving dinner meat that they can no longer mate naturally."
