Dear UPC
It’s absolutely fabulous that you are offering materials in Spanish! Although I only have a tiny house right now in the city, this beautiful boy came
my way a few months ago and we’re all making it work. A local businessman I see often has had this poor turkey in a two-foot-square cage for over two
years – he was to be a Christmas dinner prepared by the man’s mother, and when she died suddenly, he couldn’t let the bird go or bear to
eat him.
The fellow is a dear man, and I’ve pestered him all this time to let me give his poor bird a good home. . . . So this is Valentin and he is able
to puff up for the first time in his life and stroll around the house and garden. Such a joy to see him flower and make sweet turkey sounds! My Mexican
neighbors are fascinated and stop for coffee just to sit and visit with him. As you well know, this is the absolute best way to open discussions about
going vegan! Mexico has become a huge poultry producer, number 4 now, I think, and it’s absolutely heartbreaking to see this country emulating the US.
Valentin is wonderfully affectionate and personable and he is doing a terrific job of getting people to think compassionately about poultry.
