I appreciate your work here to have the reader consider the turkey as an individual, as Cornelius, as a singular being with highly individuated desires, needs, dislikes, preferences - this is a key move as you begin to unfold the horror these beautiful beings are thrown into… thank you for this book! Also I imagine an homage to David Foster Wallace’s brilliant BRILLIANT “Consider the Lobster” which is absolutely essential reading for anyone interested in these discussions. “Consider the Lobster” consider these beings, take them into account think about them for a minute … what a brilliant title and I’m glad you’ve picked it up.
I loved this part of the book. I wrote a full book review of "Consider the Turkey" on my Substack, maybe you'd like to check it out! https://expandingcircle.substack.com/p/book-review-consider-the-turkey-by

Congratulations on the new book, Peter! Such good timing, too, just over a month before U.S. Thanksgiving.
