Animal Photo of the Week: Harley

 
Could Harley’s smile be any more contagious? We certainly don’t think so! This friendly guy sure knows how to light up a barnyard and we are thrilled to have him as part of our flock at the California Shelter. Unfortunately, life wasn’t always so sunny for Harley. Before he was rescued, he lived on factory farm, where his life would have been cut brutally short so that he could become someone’s turkey dinner. Sadly, more than 46 million turkeys just like Harley are slaughtered annually for the Thanksgiving holiday alone. Luckily, we all have the chance to make this time of year a little brighter for the birds by taking part in Farm Sanctuary’s Adopt-A-Turkey Project. Since 1986, this campaign has been seeking to end the misery of commercially-raised turkeys by saving lives and promoting compassionate Thanksgiving alternatives. By signing up to sponsor Harley with a one-time $30 donation, you can join us in making a big difference for turkeys and other suffering farm animals today and throughout the year.
