Annual Turkey Drop...ends in death
#1
For sheer strangeness and stupidity this festival takes the prize. They take a flock of turkeys in a small plane and fly up to 500 ft and then toss the turkeys out. This time one of the birds didn't make it.

PETA is planning to take legal action against the people who dropped the turkeys from the plane. It can't be an old festival. Airplanes are not that old. I hope they can do something to stop this. It is such a needlessly cruel thing to do to a turkey.

Oh this is unbelievable! How can anyone think it is remotely funny or entertaining to drop Turkeys from a plane? They are not built for that kind of flight.
I hope this cruel stupidity is banned as soon as possible. Can't the people feel for what those creatures must suffer??

They take them way higher than would be natural for a wild turkey. These domestic turkeys wouldn`t stand a chance. The lucky ones manage to spread their wings and land on something soft, but this year one just dropped like a stone and was killed. How terrifying, even for the ones that lived.

This is just an act of premeditated cruelty. There are some sick people out there and some sick towns that condone such behavior.
