Tutu “The Bestie”
Tutu was born in an animal factory, an industrial farm where she was treated like a number among 46 million turkeys facing Thanksgiving slaughter. An art student saved Tutu to tell her story, but when the school wouldn’t allow a turkey, Tutu found her happily ever after at Farm Sanctuary.
Tutu has a lot to say and loves to listen, too. She’s like that friend who’s there to chat, remind you of the joy in life, or be a shoulder you can cry on. When this social butterfly’s around, whether she’s in the pool or noshing on snacks, everyone’s having fun.

About Farm Sanctuary’s Adopt a Turkey Project
Each year, 46 million turkeys are slaughtered for Thanksgiving in the United States. Most spend their lives in severe crowding and confinement behind the closed doors of animal factories that treat these living, feeling birds like commodities—and, like all farmed birds, turkeys are excluded from even the most basic legal protections.
Turkeys deserve kindness. That’s why, since 1986, Farm Sanctuary’s Adopt a Turkey Project has encouraged people to symbolically adopt a turkey at Thanksgiving. By highlighting turkeys' unique personalities and intelligence while also revealing the abuse they face in an exploitative food system, this beloved campaign has reached millions of people with a message of compassion.
With a special contribution today, you can sponsor a rescued turkey living at Farm Sanctuary—or maximize your impact by sponsoring this year’s featured flock of five.
Adopt for yourself or choose a gift adoption, and we’ll email a certificate to the recipient of your choosing to show them how much you care.
