You can take the pledge too! Give turkeys a reason to be thankful this Thanksgiving by pledging to leave animals off your plate.

Here are some Turkey facts:

  • Turkeys can run as fast as 25 miles per hour and fly as fast as 55 miles per hour

  • Highly social and very affectionate, turkeys create lasting friendships with each other

  • Turkeys have unique voices, which is how they recognize each other…they can also recognize human faces

  • Turkeys have great geography skills and can learn the precise details of an area up to 1,000 acres in size
