If the thought of all those turkeys dying for your dinner has you bummed out, consider something else. This season, be a part of a new Thanksgiving tradition - adopt a turkey! "Adopt a turkey who lives at Farm Sanctuary's Watkins Glen, New York or Orland, California shelter for farm animals." For a one-time $20 adoption fee, you get a color photograph of your turkey and an adoption certificate. And you can feel a little better than everyone else when you sit down to your Thanksgiving dinner.
