Guilt-free turkey?

Love turkey but want to be a cruelty-free carnivore? The good folks of Gay List Daily would like to bring your attention to Good Shepherd Poultry Farms:

Good Shepherd Poultry Farms are here to help lessen our guilt while providing a sumptuously devilish holiday meal.

Turkeys from the renowned poultry farms are raised on outdoor ranges, bred naturally, fed only with vegetarian feed with top-notch animal welfare standards.

Moreover, the heritage breed of turkeys the Good Shepherd network raises are considered endangered, and supporting these environmentally-friendly farms actually aids the conservation of these dwindling bird populations.

If that wasn’t enough irony for you, the Animal Welfare Institute has approved Good Shepherd’s network of free-range farms with a special certification.


The turkeys are pretty pricey - $119 for an 8-10 lb. bird - but good karma is worth it.
