And fifteen dollars wont feed that turkey very long. What happens after that? Sounds like a bit of a stretch to me, and somewhat short-sighted. I don't know, sounds like a bit of a scam to me. -Jay |

The turkeys at Farm Sanctuary aren't bred and they only come to the sanctuary because of abuse cases. Serena was rescued from a cruel college prank. Often, authorities contact Farm Sanctuary when farm animal abuse cases are found. > And fifteen > dollars wont feed that turkey very long. What happens after that? $15 is simply a contribution added to the pot for turkeys feed. That's probably equal to a month's worth. There are many other ways they raise $ for the sanctuary. > Sounds like a bit of a stretch to me, and somewhat short-sighted. > > I don't know, sounds like a bit of a scam to me. > > -Jay I don't understand what the scam would be. The sanctuary's been around for many years and has a reputation for good stewardship of donations. The website for adopt-a-turkey & farm sanctuary provide lots of information about adopting any of the animals on a monthly basis. Again, I'm sure it all goes into the same fund for all the animals. -- Wohali "Those who are enjoying something, or suffering something together, are companions." --C.S. Lewis |

Adopt an animal schemes make good presents. Several people adopt the same animal, usually. Animal sanctuaries are expensive to run and depend entirely on donations. As a previous poster said, most of these animals have been rescued. In the UK, I support Hillside Animal Sanctuary, in Norfolk. We visited last summer - it is run by a vegan - Wendy Valentine - who had made it her life's work. They also have self catering accommodation if anyone wants to stay in the area and support a good cause at the same time. www.hillside.org.uk Deb |

They'll find another sucker to pay up. > Sounds like a bit of a stretch to me, and somewhat short-sighted. > > I don't know, sounds like a bit of a scam to me. Many AR and enviro causes are. Here's a webpage with a listing of their executive salaries. I'm in the wrong business. http://worldtwitch.virtualave.net/an...ities_2001.htm |
