The Turkey

Wishful Thinking


A wild turkey living in the wild as God intended


A festive meal with the pain and suffering "sanitized out."  What are we thankful for?  That this turkey suffered and died for our fleeting pleasure?

Reality

(Turkey - Free Range Myth - 17)  Partial beak amputation can be performed on organic turkey flocks. Ian J.H. Duncan, a professor of Poultry Ethology at the University of Guelph in Canada, says "the idea of beak trimming being a short-lived discomfort for the bird may be far from accurate. The short and long-term changes in behavior, particularly the substantial decrease in activities involving the beak and the increase in inactivity particularly in the first week after the operation, suggests that the birds are suffering severe pain."
