Dear PeTA,

My turkey roams free in the woods (near farms, but not inside sheds), when the feathers are removed the animal is long gone, I don't stomp on my turkey's head (in fact, I'm extremely respectful and thankful), chemicals no, dirt and poop depends on who cleans the bird... and so I don't sound too mean, please note that I'm a huge fan of the rainbow.

Sincerely,
@treestand

Perfect example of PeTA stepping toes for no reason.

I also love rainbows! :)

Nothing against any lifestyle choices (and I eat meat about twice a year)...I just can't stand preaching, especially when it's wrapped in a lame attempt to be clever. Happy Thanksgiving. ;)

All of PETA's campaigns seem to center around hate and anger. Extremely polarizing, yes - but I have to believe they're also turning off a huge portion of the audience that might otherwise support them.

For the record, I'll be eating a store bought turkey tomorrow. No doubt that it was stomped on by a mean person, and then rolled in poop. Pass the gravy.
