Flintlock1776 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Just got this email and I thought I would pass it on: [TABLE=width: 650] [TR] [TD]FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Mike Faw (614) 888-4868 x 214 November 23, 2011 Sharon Hayden (614) 888-4868 x 226[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][h=2]Don’t Follow PETAs Turkey Guidelines[/h](Columbus, Ohio) – In an effort to pull on the heart strings of Americans and cast a bad light on America’s agriculture industry, PETA has released its twisted details on turkeys and Thanksgiving just in time for the holiday season. Those PETA guidelines are illegal and ill-advised in many areas. PETA points out that more than 45 million turkeys are killed each year for Thanksgiving, and more than 22 million are slaughtered for Christmas, so that they can be the centerpiece of a holiday meal. (Congratulations go to America’s agriculture industry for keeping us fed!) But then PETA notes “these gentle, intelligent birds deserve to live out their lives in the wild…” Take note: Most states have strict laws against releasing captive birds—including turkeys—into the wild. Those who make these illegal releases can be ticketed and face fines and court action. Captive birds can spread diseases to wild flocks. In some states it is illegal to permit captive or domestic turkeys to range freely. Shame on PETA for placing many years of conservation efforts and the restoration of America’s wild turkey populations in such peril.

[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] That shows how much they know about turkeys. BTW - They tried to get Turkey, TX to change its name to Tofurkey for Thanksgiving. They've obviously never been to Turkey and if they're smart they won't go there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
