In this pictorial memoir, animal
rights activist Kristin Beach expressesthe life and observations of her wild
turkey friend and neighbor, Edna Byrd, from Edna's point of view. Kristin
says: "I have learned so much
by watching Edna. She spends her day roaming,
pecking, eating what she wants - when she wants, exploring, grooming,
interacting with others, doing her turkey dance, and stretching. She has
control over her life and the ability to make choices. These are all things
that we deny animals raised for food, and it breaks my heart."
Kristin
Beach is a longtime volunteer for Niagara Action for Animals. She lives in
St. Catharines, Ontario Canada with her vegetarian/vegan family and several
companion animals. Kristin wishes that all neighbors could be as wonderful as
Edna.
