Zedakah User ID: 13761533 United States 11/22/2012 06:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why even bother naming a turkey peace or liberty and making a metaphor out of an ordinary situation. Name the turkey Giblets or Stuffers or something that nobody will care about if you chop off its head. Nothing that man does is ever simple and straight forward. Just like the "private swearing" he is doing this term. |

samanthasunflower User ID: 14930415 United States 11/22/2012 06:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's a shame that they pardon broad breasted white turkeys, instead of heritage breeds. It's like pardoning someone who is dying of cancer instead of someone who is healthy and has a long live ahead of them. Broad breasted turkeys and cornish cross chickens are genetic freaks. Incapable of natural reproduction and bred to grow quickly, they have very short natural lifespans. There are some people who attempt to keep broad breasted turkeys alive as pets, but usually the turkeys die or have to be put down by age 1-2. Their bodies grow too fast and their internal organs and legs can't keep up with it. Meanwhile, a heritage bird such as a Red Bourbon, can live to be 20 years of age. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 28217037 United Kingdom 11/22/2012 07:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.wptv.com] Quoting: pink cat Peace, turkey pardoned by President Obama last Thanksgiving, euthanized "Washington -- Peace, one of two turkeys pardoned by President Obama last year, was euthanized Monday, according to an official who insisted the timing of the death - days before the Thanksgiving holiday - was not suspicious. Rebecca Aloisi, vice president for marketing at the Mount Vernon Estate, confirmed that Peace had been dead after a weekend "illness." But Aloise knew neither the nature of the illness, the manner of death, nor what had been done with the remains of the large, edible bird. "I appreciate where you're going with this," Aloisi told CNN. "But I assure you that these birds are extremely well cared for." The decision to euthanize the bird was made by a veterinarian in consultation with Mount Vernon's livestock department, she said. Peace had served as the understudy for Liberty, another turkey, at the 2011 pardoning ceremony by President Obama. Obama chose to pardon both birds to spare them from the fate of the plate.... ...Aloisi said turkeys have short lifespans, especially those bred for eating. The timing of the death was "curious," Aloisi allowed, but not suspicious. At the Nov. 23, 2011, pardoning, President Obama said Peace was "going to retire to a life of leisure at Mount Vernon - the same place where George Washington spent his golden years." But now Peace is dead." happy thanksgiving! so if they killed "peace" on monday.... what else happened on that day? and why tell us this NOW on thanksgiving? crazy peace killing psy op bastards. fyi, the national bird was to be a turkey, but they changed it to an eagle. little weird fact. "Peace had served as the understudy to first bird Liberty, in case illness prevented Liberty from participating in last year's White House ceremony. Obama spared both birds, joking that this was one executive action that didn't require congressional approval. They retired to the Mount Vernon estate in Virginia, where Peace died Monday." it's like something out of the Onion! Wow - when i read it a couple of hours ago i thought EXACTLY the same as you.. nice to see it pinned on GLP! |
