Everyone, please!! Stop the horror! Do you have any idea how awful it is that we, the so-called "civilized" human race, actually have a SPECIFIC DAY OF THE YEAR dedicated to EATING turkeys? Oh, the horror!
Please, do your part! Don't eat these affectionate, intelligent, birds! Eat something unfeeling instead...like a lawyer.
(Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. :>)

The Turkey is pretty dumb, but it doesn't have anything on sheep.

If they're anything like other barnyard fowl (I'm thinking geese in particular) they're aggressive, surly beasts. Point Two: If we weren't supposed to eat turkeys, they wouldn't be so delicious. |

In other words, "don't make me come over there." :> Point Two: If we weren't supposed to eat turkeys, they wouldn't be so delicious. Well, ok. You got me on that one.

Now riddle me this: domesticated turkeys can't fly. Does this make them "land animal?"  |

from a hunting standpoint, it is pretty tough to call one in and stalk it . . . They have pretty decent eye sight and their hearing is top notch

So, are Turkeys like Quail and Prarie chicken in the sense that they use their wings for the sole purpose of bursting out of bushes and frantically flying about 100 metres? Or is the Turkey absolutley useless? I don't think I've actually seen a turkey that wasn't on a dining table.

I dont know about wild turkeys, but the domestic (delicious!) variety that we eat is pretty darn useless.

God put them on earth for the sole purpose of having 4-5 loaves of bread shoved up their arse only to be cooked inside and enjoyed later that evening |

Next year I'm starting a tradition where I'll go turkey hunting and supply my family with the thanksgiving turkey. Turkeys are hard to hunt, they have great sight which is why turkey hunters basically have to dress like woodland ninjas to get them close enough.

If you put a severed female turkey head on a stick, a male turkey will still try to have sex with it. Seriously, it's been tested. I have no freaking clue WHY it was tested...
