Don’t scapegoat city turkeys!

Letter to the editor - NY Daily News
28 November 2013

Staten Island Borough President James Molinaro says turkeys “are not made for a city.” Really? Wildlife was here way before any city — we are encroaching on them. The turkeys didn’t create the largest landfill pollution dump in the world on Staten Island; my friend who was mugged on S.I. is pretty sure a turkey didn’t do it. So don’t scapegoat the turkeys — they have as much right to live as we do.
