DETAILS

Can you believe we get to meet Trump? - Yeah, I just wish the others were here (EUSA)

 

Public event. Free/no fee, but please see details below to know what to bring to participate. No alcohol (park rules). 

Everyone attending, please bring a VEGAN ready-to-serve dish to share that will serve at least 8-10 people. Prepare it or buy it at Whole Foods. For example, if there are two people in your party, please bring 16-20 servings. What does "vegan" mean? It means animal-free -- no meat, fish, eggs, milk, dairy, or honey -- no animal products at all.

 
Organic, chemical-free, non-GMO foods are encouraged. Cooked or raw vegan food is welcome. There will be a space designated for raw food. Please be conscientious about your dish seeing that every ingredient is 100% vegan. If raw, make sure (pasteurized foods, commercially canned, and most jarred food are not raw).

What if turkeys rose up and did not tolerate being raised for slaughter then murdered?

 
Please bring an INGREDIENT LIST to help those with allergies. Prevent paper and plastic waste: please bring your own utensils, plates, bowls, cups, fork/spoon, and serving utensils.

WHEN: Gather at 11:00 AM for a beautiful opening circle at noon then we feast!

Trump pardons turkeys then eat red meat

We were told we'd be spared slaughter and set free by an orange man. True or a joke?

Selfie before the slaughter? - Pardon us.

Two white Minnesota-raised turkeys visited the White House for the annual white turkey pardoning ceremony by white Pres. Trump. Now that they won't be slaughtered (because "Meat is murder") they get to have names, Wishbone and Drumstick. 

 

Hold it in! If you poop here, they may kill us.

The duo’s names were announced Monday at the Willard Hotel, the lavish property where the birds currently have a suite, which is located just a block down Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House. Why all the hubbub over some "dumb" birds? It makes it easier to kill the rest of them, neither seen nor heard and certainly without names.

This joyous event makes it possible to look at ourselves in the best possible light as forgiving and magnanimous when we raise hundreds of millions of birds for slaughter just for this one day -- to say nothing of the countless cows, chickens, pigs, and fish that are destroyed with half of them going to complete waste ending up as trash not food.

And here we thought the Brahmin Hindus of Nepal were brutal for promoting the mass slaughter of animals at the gruesome (and surely demon-inspired) Gadhimai festival.

The unbelievable demon fest worshiping or appeasing Gadhimai: 250,000 animals slaughtered in one place as quickly as possible, over a day or two. Buddha Boy, Wisdom Quarterly, and activists stood against it. Now banned but still going on underground as in the US.

   

White turkey pecks a white D--- (Bush)

Chairman Carl Wittenburg of the National Turkey Foundation, who raised the birds, said Wishbone and Drumstick were selected from a flock of 80 for "their character, their temperament, their showmanship, and how they looked strutting their stuff."

[And the fact that they're ostentatiously white is a complete coincidence with no bearing on their pardon. All of the rest of the birds, some of whom are also white, will be slaughtered]. More
