RE: Wild Turkey For Thanksgiving?

[Guest guest]

Dear Editor,

 

Your recent article entitled “Wild Turkey For Thanksgiving? " was so full

of hypocrisy, I felt compelled to write in. Author Hank Pellissier

correctly points out that the turkey is " an intelligent fowl so admired

by our Founding Fathers that it was almost named the national bird " and

then goes on to glorify its slaughter. The subject of the article Dave

Newsom is later quoted as saying " It's a quieter kind of hunting than

going after other animals, so you get to appreciate the nature around

you more. "

 

Right. Then you shoot it in the head with a high powered firearm.

 

Am I the only one who is disturbed by this mentality? Hunting is

barbaric and unnecessary. And let's not forget that Wild Turkeys are

being INTRODUCED into California and other Western states, upsetting the

natural order of the ecosystem just so hunters can slaughter them.

Please stop glorifying this killing and promote the compassionate

treatment of animals.
