Who are the real turkeys here?

Oh, yeah. Another reason why I hate Thanksgiving.
Run, turkeys, run!
I'm not a crazy animal-rights activist (you wouldn't, for example, find me in a ridiculous costume by the side of the road with a placard), but to me there is no excuse for animal cruelty. It's all right to eat meat; we're allowed to do so. But part of that involves respecting life and thus respecting the animals. Just because it'll soon be filled with stuffing and covered in gravy doesn't mean it should suffer beforehand.
