Hello, my name is Jane and I am about five months
old now. I lived in a shed with a lot of other turkeys until the
day ten of us went to this place called a market. It was a nightmare
populated by callous, rough, loud, de-sensitised people who had only
their own interests at heart. I had a label attached to one of my
legs and it kept tripping me up. These people thought that was hilarious,
I didn’t. We all had to be weighed, we knew what for, we could sense
it. The ten of us were at least kept together and we tried to give
each other some support but the whole thing was terrifying. It is
when you know you are going to die. We watched the other turkeys
being sold and taken away. I just don’t want to think what happened
to them. Miraculously we were sold to Janet, we didn’t know her
at the time, but we certainly do now. What a wonderful person to
brave the horrors of that place to try to rescue as many of us as
she could afford. She bought two pigeons and some hens as well that
day and we all came here to the Sanctuary. For us the most marvellous
place in our small experience of the world. We have another shed
to live in now but a much cleaner one with better and more varied
food. We can go outside when we want through the day. It’s quiet
here and doesn’t smell and we are all together, our group of ten
friends. I want to stay here for the rest of my life which will
be a much longer one now and a much happier one. Please sponsor
me. |
