That being said, the best place for a FARMED turkey is in my oven or on the dinner table tomorrow at Thanksgiving. My sister will be hosting our extended family of nine wild turkey lovers to feast on the flesh of one of their domesticated cousins.

Well stated. I would be hard pressed to consider any animal ugly... even the ugly ones. That hardly means that if they taste good I won't eat them. Lions eat zebras, humans eat cows. That's nature.

I totally want a pet lamb to name Mint Sauce.

Carrots and peas are adorable also.. and I eat those.
Try going through life only eating ugly things, Good luck.

Farmed turkeys have been known to stare at the sky when it rains due to a behavioral trait called tetanic torticollar spasms. But there has been no documented cases that have shown turkeys drowning from staring at the sky. A lot of their intelligence has been lost due to farm breeding. However, WILD TURKEYS are actually pretty intelligent birds. One good way to find that out for yourself is to go turkey hunting with someone. Their eyesite is unbelieveably sharp. They can detect movement at incredible distances (around 100 yards) and they can sense danger quicker than most game animals. I grew up on a turkey farm and on that note, EAT EAT EAT MORE MORE TURKEY! It's yummm-yy!
