Here's something new you can try this Thanksgiving. Instead of eating a turkey, can you adopt one.

Stars including Kaley Cuoco, Joaquin Phoenix, Kevin Smith and his daughter Harley Quinn Smith have teamed up with Farm Sanctuary to encourage people to #BreakTheChain of old traditions by taking the turkey off their plate and sponsoring one instead through the organization's 33rd annual 'Adopt a Turkey Project.'

With 46 million turkeys raised on inhumane factory farms and slaughtered for Thanksgiving across America, Farm Sanctuary, the organization combating the abuses of animal agriculture and encouraging a new awareness and understanding about farm animals, took the collaboration on sharing personal messages from the stars.
