    Nothing new on this front as the US is taking a holiday weekend of eating turkey and watching American football . On the political front we are reduced to watching the President pardon two turkeys (last year's pardoned turkey was euthanized this week;so it was only a temporary reprieve) .

    PETA wasn't even happy that the turkey gets pardoned...

    Quote:

    Dear Mr. President:

    People who are vegetarian for religious, health, environmental, or ethical reasons—with all due respect, I'm writing on behalf of them all as well as on behalf of PETA's millions of members and supporters, particularly young vegetarians who look to you to recognize their very existence.

    You understand so well that African-Americans, women, and members of the LGBT community have been poorly served throughout history, and now I am asking you to consider other living beings who are ridiculed, belittled, and treated as if their sentience, feelings, and very natures count for nothing.

    The White House turkey "pardon" is a sorely outdated event. It makes light of the mass slaughter of some 46 million gentle, intelligent birds and portrays the United States' president as being in some sort of business partnership with the turkey-killing industry. Turkeys do not need to be "pardoned"—they are not guilty of anything other than being born into a world of prejudice. They are innocents who should be respected for who they are: good mothers, smart birds, and interesting animals.

    This year, we encourage you to forgo this event, which so many Americans find offensive, and choose a delicious, healthy Tofurky roast for your family's holiday table. Thank you for your consideration. We wish you, your family, and all Americans a happy, violence-free Thanksgiving.

    Very truly yours,

    Ingrid E. Newkirk
    President
    Turkey's have feelings?

    No they don't, that's why they don't have to be pardoned. Surely they must have better things to do... but then again, it is PETA.

    PETA got "Sir " Paul McCartney to make a public service commercial to get us to eat tofurkey

    Ok.
    You should make a competing commercial talking about the deliciousness of turkey.
