Danny Maciocia, general manager of the Montréal Alouettes, has scored an offer from PETA: a protein-packed vegan holiday feast, delivered by the group, for the team to enjoy after it faces off against the Ottawa Redblacks on Monday.

The proposal is part of PETA’s nationwide ThanksVegan campaign, which asks everyone to give turkeys a break this holiday by choosing animal-friendly foods, and has enlisted Sobeys, Save-On-Foods, Buy-Low Foods, IGA, and other major grocery chains across Canada to showcase their ready-to-roast vegan turkeys and other vegan holiday fare.

“When people realize that turkeys love their families, feel pain and fear, and value their lives, they’re eager to put a vegan turkey on the table,” writes PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. “Win or lose, the Alouettes could celebrate kindness to gentle birds by enjoying a delicious ThanksVegan meal, courtesy of PETA.”

Turkeys can live up to 10 years, but those raised for food are usually slaughtered when they’re babies—between 12 and 26 weeks old—and millions are killed each year for Thanksgiving in Canada alone. The young birds are hung by their feet from metal shackles and dragged through an electrified bath, and they’re often still conscious when their throats are cut and they’re dumped into scalding-hot defeathering tanks.

PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to eat”—opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview. Everyone can find delectable holiday recipes by ordering one of PETA’s ultimate Canadian ThanksVegan guides.

Will October 11 mark ThanksVegan? PETA’s betting on it! The group has enlisted Sobeys, Save-On-Foods, Buy-Low Foods, IGA, and other major grocery chains across Canada to showcase their ready-to-roast vegan turkeys and other vegan holiday fare. Plus, Toronto’s Animal Liberation Kitchen and The Very Good Butchers, based in Victoria and with locations from coast to coast, will also spread the #ThanksVegan word on social media to encourage everyone to enjoy a bird-friendly holiday—something that’s clearly already on many Canadians’ minds, as the number of online searches involving the word “vegan” in Canada grew by 113% from 2016 to 2020.

To drive the message home, PETA has plastered the cities of Abbotsford, British Columbia (including the airport), and Brandon, Manitoba, with images of turkeys declaring, “I’m ME, Not MEAT”; will give away free vegan roasts in Montréal, and other major cities; and has created an ultimate Canadian ThanksVegan guide for people across the country.
