My husband has two friends (a male/female couple) who are transitioning from vegetarian to vegan and I also have two friends (both women) who are transitioning from omnivore and all are dreading Thanksgiving. The conversations with family and friends have already begun about "Turkey Day." I don't know, maybe 20 years of experience.

There will be no greyhound corpse on our table, no turkey corpse and no pig corpse. The two objections to a vegan Thanksgiving that I hear most often are: It's our tradition and Because it tastes good. Justice for beings who look very different from us but who, like us, experience pleasure and pain, boredom and frustration.

And it certainly doesn't follow that it is permissible to eat meat that comes from animals who were forced to endure horribly inhumane factory farm conditions and who were then slaughtered inhumanely. That's one more reason to forego the Christmas Turkey or Ham this year. Running time: 12 Minutes. They are alive and well.
