I watched hidden-camera video—shot by a whistleblower
working at Lilydale—showing frightened turkeys painfully shackled upside down,
shocked with electricity, sliced open, and even submerged in tanks of scalding
water while still alive and able to feel pain.I stopped eating turkeys and other animals a long time ago
because I know they are as intelligent and friendly as the dogs and cats we all
know and love, and they deserve to be protected from needless cruelty and
violence.But even people who eat meat can agree that animals
shouldn’t be tortured to death. Yet that’s exactly what is happening at
Lilydale.

The best way to help spare turkeys and other animals from horrific suffering is to follow Anderson’s lead and simply stop eating them.

alleviate the suffering of millions of animals.
