Two lucky turkeys are spending Thanksgiving dinner at the table instead of on the table in Aldergrove.
The Happy Herd Farm Sanctuary, a home for abused or at-risk farm animals, hosted a vegan potluck dinner Sunday.
The guests of honour were resident turkeys Mo and Leonard.
The sanctuary said in a statement that 20 million turkeys are killed for food each year in Canada and it believes the animals deserve better.
It described Mo and Leonard as social, sensitive and curious animals who always follow visitors around.
