Boston University grad Ginnifer Goodwin is all for turkeys -- protecting them, not eating them.
The actress, best known for “Big Love” and “He’s Just Not That Into You,” stars in a new public service announcement campaign for Farm Sanctuary’s Adopt-A-Turkey project, which aims to keep turkeys safe from slaughter.
Goodwin says, on Farm Sanctuary's website, “After spending time with the rescued turkeys at Farm Sanctuary’s shelter and seeing how similar they are to my furry companion animals at home, I knew I needed to do everything in my power to protect these friendly and curious birds from the daily pain and suffering they endure on factory farms.”
Goodwin also says, of her recent trip to the shelter, “I grew fairly attached to a turkey named Magnolia. And there’s a ... goat who likes to play good-natured butting-heads games with humans. I dug her.” For the record, Goodwin -- a vegan -- says she'll be cooking Tofurky for Thanksgiving.
