During
the holiday season, far too many people celebrate with a traditional
feast centered around a turkey. Many volunteers took part in
an event in front of Baltimore's Inner Harbor to encourage people
to instead choose a feast of compassion and health for this
year's feast. A vegetarian meal is great for human health, the
best choice for the environment, and obviously the most humane
and compassionate choice for the animals.
"Sexy
Pilgrim" Tofurky Giveaway - Thursday, Nov. 27
An event by PETA and Animal Awareness
PETA
and Animal Awareness joined together in a “Sexy Pilgrim”
Tofurky Giveaway Thanksgiving, 2003. A “pilgrim” handed
out free Tofurky—a soy-based roast that includes savory
stuffing—in downtown Baltimore as part of PETA’s East
Coast tour to promote a vegetarian Thanksgiving. More than 40
million turkeys are killed every year at Thanksgiving alone.
PETA’s “pilgrim” hoped to reach people’s
hearts through their stomachs and urged consumers to stay true
to the holiday spirit on Thanksgiving by giving turkeys something
to be thankful for.
