22 million turkeys
thats the number of turkeys killed for christmas in the US alone.
the day they were slaughtered was decided on the day they were born. they are killed at a few months of age.
these birds, like any other animals, are victims of selfish choices that condemn innocent individuals to a life of exploitation and suffering in the name of peace and prosperity.
your culture was built, and still relies on the suffering of animals whose lives were taken on the altar of greed, unwillingly sacrificed, begging to be free.
the alternative is simple: live without exploiting other animals. live without enslaving, commodifying, objectifying, and killing sentient creatures. live without turning individuals into products. end this senseless dominance.
set them free.
or I guess just keep using culture, tradition, convenience, or whatever fallacy you are leaning on to justify how you benefit from their misery.
happy holidays
