DESCRIPTION:Celebrate ThanksLiving at Animal Place!\n\nAnimal Place, a 60-acre 
 sanctuary and education center, is hosting its first-annual ThanksLiving 
 event on Saturday, November 22. Come out to the sanctuary and meet the 
 turkeys and other animals, hear from speakers on a variety of topics and 
 gobble up delicious Celebration roasts from Field Roast, Tofurky roasts 
 from Turtle Island Foods, desserts from Sugar Plum Vegan and 
 more!\n\nConsider bringing special treats for the turkeys: Cooked brown 
 rice, pumpkin pie, grapes and cantaloupe (in small pieces) are some of 
 their holiday favorites. \n\n"Animal Place's ThanksLiving event honors the 
 turkeys at the sanctuary,” says Marji Beach, education coordinator. “It 
 gives visitors a chance to get up close and personal with trilling Eliza 
 and handsome Leland. This is one way we can also remember the 270-million 
 turkeys who end up on dinner plates instead of at sanctuaries."  
 \n\n"Turkeys are a misunderstood species,” adds Kim Sturla, executive 
 director of Animal Place. “Often thought of as stupid, turkeys are 
 actually quite intelligent and form incredibly strong social bonds with 
 other turkeys, sometimes other species! Animal Place wants the public to 
 celebrate these birds, not eat them." \n\nSpeaking at the ThanksLiving 
 event will be Lauren Ornelas, founder of the Food Empowerment Project, who 
 will discuss her work investigating factory farms and share a personal 
 story about Taylor, a turkey she rescued in 2005. She’ll also address the 
 need for doing what we can for others, especially now.\nLauren is the 
 former executive director of Viva!USA, a national nonprofit vegan advocacy 
 organization. \n\nAlso speaking will be Mark Hawthorne, author of the new 
 book Striking at the Roots: A Practical Guide to Animal Activism. Mark will 
 discuss how easy it is for anyone to get active for animals. \n\nDue to 
 parking limitations, this event is limited to 40 people, so register today! 
 (Once the sign-ups reach 40, we will maintain a wait list.)\n\nWhen:
