And how noble to be training children to grow up with no sense of morals, empathy or compassion. You've got to be kidding me. What a wonderful display of sociopathy.

I participated in the slaughter. One major hitch--the ax wasn't too sharp. It took more than a few clumsy whacks on the neck. And even then some of the turkeys "escaped," hanging from a single artery, which had to be caught and severed with a pocket knife. The live turkeys, being that they have brains of turkeys, rushed over and tried to mate with the freshly severed heads. It was gruesome and not the most humane way to slaughter animals. Yet I think I earned my right to carry my carnivore card that year. People need to see where their food comes from. Otherwise, their cowardly hypocrites. Happy Thanksgiving!
