Animal Photo of the Week: Jordan

 

It’s all blue skies for Jordan now that he is safe and sound at our California Shelter. Rescued from a factory farm when he was just a little peep, this kind and youthful turkey is an inspiration to everyone he meets for having overcome such a rough start to life. Sadly, millions of other turkeys raised for Thanksgiving never get this chance as they are killed at only 14 to 18 weeks of age. Since the holiday is right around the corner, Jordan is seeking compassionate people like you to sponsor him through our Adopt-A-Turkey Project today and help spread the word that turkeys deserve much better. Your $30 donation will not only go toward the care of animals living at Farm Sanctuary, but also help us be a voice for suffering farm animals all across the U.S. Learn more and adopt Jordan!

P.S. If you haven't yet seen episode three of our "Sanctuary Tails" video series, Reel Life at Farm Sanctuary, watch now to learn all about turkeys.
