Thanksgiving Feast for the Animals at Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary

Nothing gets me in the mood to be thankful quite like watching animals have fancy meals. If you’re in the same boat, you might want to start your Turkey Day off by visiting the Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary. Zoo patrons dropped off a list of approved meals for the many animals to feast on, including special animal-friendly recipes for pie. According zookeeper Sharifa Moore, the animals usually enjoy their meals—but sometimes they enjoy playing with the food more. It’s a novel way to spend the holiday, by pretending that cougars, bears and other wild animals really understand the concept of it. 403 Stafford Street in Folsom, folsomzoofriends.org.
