Vegan Thanksgiving 2010

Have a peaceful and blissful Thanksgiving!
See links below for top links!

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you all have a great, happy, and cruelty-free Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is a day for giving thanks, giving peace, and spreading the joy and happiness to all around you. Be safe, eat well and cruelty-free, and have a thankful day. Adopt or sponsor a turkey, adopt a family for Thanksgiving, start a vegan food drive, and/or volunteer today! If you plan on going out this Thanksgiving, go to/call your local Whole Foods Market and vegan friendly restaurant to see if they are offering vegan Thanksgiving food.

It should be our goal to be calm, be loving unto others, be gentle, and be peaceful. Help the poor and sick and distressed, be righteous, be good, be forgiving, be understanding, be compassionate and do good deeds for all beings. We should try to help people in hard times, to help them understand the nature of things, to nourish all things, and to respect all life. Vegan peace to you all! - Vegan Peace Blog (Avi)
