A child’s last minute change of heart saved this turkey’s life.

Brownie was raised for slaughter by a high school student in the FFA (Future Farmers of America) program. Kids in this program raise animals and then auction them off to be killed for food. (1/5)
However, at the time of auction, Brownie was a few pounds too light. She didn’t “make weight.” She was disqualified from auction.

The boy who raised her tried to sell her online, and I reached out to him to offer an alternative to slaughter. (2/5)
I asked if he’d surrender her to an animal sanctuary instead. He didn’t know this was an option and was so excited about the prospect of her being able to live out her life. (3/5)
