Turkeys are intelligent, social birds that are far more fascinating than most people realise. Known for their curious personalities and playful nature, they form strong bonds with one another and even with humans. Despite being a common farm animal, turkeys are often overlooked when it comes to animal welfare and protection.
In the UK, turkeys are not endangered, but they are one of the most intensively farmed animals. Every year, millions of turkeys are raised for meat, often in cramped and unnatural conditions that prevent them from expressing their natural behaviours. Many suffer from poor welfare standards, lack of enrichment, and stressful environments. These birds are gentle, sensitive animals that deserve compassion and respect.
Surge Sanctuary provides a safe haven for animals like turkeys that have been abused, abandoned, or neglected. Based in the UK, the sanctuary rescues farmed animals from all walks of life, offering them lifelong care, freedom, and the opportunity to live as individuals rather than commodities. The sanctuary is home to cows, pigs, sheep, chickens, turkeys, and many other animals, all living free from harm.
The work of Surge Sanctuary is vital in giving farmed animals the second chance they deserve. By rescuing and rehabilitating animals, they highlight the individuality of each species and challenge people to see farm animals as sentient beings, not products. Their mission goes beyond rescue as they also focus on education and advocacy, encouraging people to make compassionate lifestyle choices and to understand the impact of industrial farming on animals and the planet.
