PETA:
Palin for the Execution of Turkey in Alaska

Tina Fey could not make this footage any funnier.

Question
What is the guy in the background thinking?

    Thanks for the mention! You can read our take on this video here:http://blog.peta.org/archives/2008/11/sarah_palin.php
    It was well timed, too. We just released a new turkey investigation that may turn you off your Thanksgiving dinner: http://getactive.peta.org/campaign/turkey_investigation

      To be honest, Lianne. I prefer not to know how my Thanksgiving dinner comes to my plate.

      I prefer not to know how many bug legs can be in my soup, etc. etc. When I go to the doctor I am the kind of person who doesn’t want to the stitches being put in or the blood being taken out. I am sure the slaughtering of a turkey is not a pretty site. I choose not to enjoy my Thanksgiving dinner in guilt. When I make it to God’s gate one day, hopefully no time soon, I will let him know that we would appreciate it if next time he creates man, he creates us not to be carnivores.

      I watched only the beginning of the video you posted, as I could not handle watching any longer. On the other hand, watching the video of the man killing the turkeys behind Sarah Palin was not the same. Not only was it done in a controlled way, but it was done by someone who actually knew what he was doing, and in a way that was as swift and hopefully painless as possible.

        Brother, where do I sign up for that club???

        How about if we made it a political fundraising group: PETA-PAC

        People Eating Tasty Animals-Particularly at Christmas!

      I watched the whole video, and while some of those actions were wrong, it doesn’t convince me to eat tofu, beans, and brussel sprouts instead of turkey meat. I’ll cheer for better treatment and enforcement of correct policies, but ultimately, I will still want my meat.

    Now if we could just get Obama giving an interview in front of an abortion operation! Then we’d have both in their respective specialties pertaining to death and suffering.

      C’mon, Joe.

      Who cares about the annual slaughter of 1 million innocent babies when we have turkeys to protect?

  • Rick B.

    Whoa, whoa… You mean to tell me that turkeys don’t come from my grocer’s freezer?

    I was just wondering what the guy in the background was doing. He was a distraction…..and seemed like an idiot.

  • Red State Eddio

    No turkey was slaughtered…er…de-feathered…I mean, eaten in the making of this interview.

    The pardoned turkey lived!
