Joaquin Phoenix Wants You to Choose a Vegan Roast This Thanksgiving

VegNews • Nov 23, 2023
Joaquin Phoenix has teamed up with PETA to encourage Americans to choose vegan alternatives this Thanksgiving and leave turkey off the table. In a video exposé, Phoenix narrates the abuse of turkeys at a leading supplier, Plainville Farms, urging people to opt for a vegan roast instead. The actor, who has been vegan since childhood, highlights the cruelty of the meat industry towards animals and advocates for a compassionate holiday celebration.

PETA is promoting its ThanksVegan initiative, which encourages people to enjoy a meat-free Thanksgiving feast with vegan alternatives. Phoenix has been a vocal advocate for animal rights, previously working with PETA and Farm Sanctuary to raise awareness about abuse in the food industry. The actor's efforts are part of a larger movement to promote a cruelty-free holiday season and to end the suffering of animals raised for food.
