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)
