Commercial turkeys are “bred to suffer.”

[Warpy]

2. There was a PBS nature special on last night about Turkey Man

who is someone in the south who raised wild turkeys from hatchlings to adulthood. The wild birds are brown and beautiful, with feather patterns ideally suited to blending into the environment. Instead of being dumb, they're quite intelligent birds and he was in the beginning of deciphering their very specific calls as a language when they got old enough to take to the trees and become independent wild turkeys. In the wild, they're utterly fascinating birds who imprinted on the man who raised them and were very affectionate with him, one of them turning into a lap bird. On his part, he was keenly observant of both habits and calls.

Keep your eye out for this special. You won't believe these are the same birds that have been perverted into a subspecies that wouldn't survive one generation without us because they are completely unfit to live.

You'll never think about a turkey dinner in quite the same way.
