As we near the Holiday that calls for a turkey tradition, let us reflect on the millions of turkeys that will be slaughtered to satisfy our Holiday tradition. We don't really blink about a headline that talks about the number of turkeys that will be killed for our tables. That is unless the turkey was a pet!
It seems that a pet turkey decided to avenge his dead brothers and went haywire on the family that cared for him. Escaping from his pen, he attacks the dog first, then turns his attention on his caregivers. The attacks prompted the family to call the sheriff, that had no choice but to shoot the rampaging turkey!
Now if a cop had to shoot the critter, it must have been very aggressive. Turkeys can be aggressive especially during mating season. Yet, there are still those who would call the family "Turkey Killers!"
It is obvious that they miss both the facts and the irony of Thanksgiving!
