The video depicts a pet turkey looking into an oven that contained a roasted turkey. The video also had audio of the owner reassuring their turkey that he did not “know” the one in the oven.

Brian May said, “You don’t have to be a Vegan (to be appalled by the gross abuse of these birds every year at this time. There are so many great ways to make your Christmas roast dinner delicious these days. I’ve been quite sickened by the endless advertising images of these poor dead animals on our TV screens over the last few weeks. It’s as if there were a desperation in the animal-based food industry that we might all discover that this is one tradition we really DON’T NEED to follow.”

He said that he would be celebrating a cruelty-free Christmas and that he hoped others would as well. His post spread an important message about the horrors that turkeys and other animals face year-round, but especially during the holiday season

The animal agriculture industry is horrifying and incredibly inhumane. The most festive and kindest thing you can do around the holidays is to replace the meat at your table with a plant-based alternative. 

Hopefully, many of May’s followers were motivated by his post to have a kinder holiday meal this year.
