Joaquin Phoenix's Holiday Plea for Turkeys

Ladder 49 star Joaquin Phoenix has been a lifelong advocate for peace for all beings. This fabulously talented vegan never passes up a chance to help animals and educate others about why they should be vegan, too. Joaquin even stars in PETA’s holiday commercial in behalf of turkeys—watch it here.

Check out what else Joaquin had to say when he sat down to chat with us for Grrr! magazine. Read up on Joaquin here.

Turkeys are for lovin’—not for the oven! They are wonderful, sensitive birds who value their lives as much as you and I value ours. Did you know that turkeys even enjoy music? It’s true! The rescued turkeys at Farm Sanctuary gather around the radio and “sing” to the music. They are especially fond of the flute—who knew? Let’s make every holiday for the birds. Encourage your family to make this Thanksgiving a vegetarian one with the tips and yummy recipes here.
