(Peta) Rock 'n' roll icon Joan Jett has a lifesaving tip about cooking a Butterball turkey this Thanksgiving: Don't do it! The Blackhearts frontwoman and longtime vegetarian has teamed up with her pals at PETA to record a special message on PETA's Holiday Hotline (1-888-VEG-FOOD) warning callers that eating turkeys is a sure recipe for cruelty-and PETA and Jett can prove it.

"Hi. This is Joan Jett from The Blackhearts for PETA," starts the message. "Workers at a Butterball plant were recently documented punching and kicking live birds, slamming them against metal trailers, and worse. Please join me in calling Butterball's Turkey Talk Line to tell their operators that there is no appropriate way to cook a tortured bird." Jett goes on to give Butterball's number and offers to send callers free vegetarian starter kits. [Peta also reportedly has footage they gave to authorities showing workers sexually assaulting turkeys� no, we didn't make this up. The press release says "Another worker assaulted a hanging turkey by inserting his finger into her cloaca (vagina)." Think what you may about Peta etc but that's pretty damn sick.
