Live Turkeys Stuffed with Cocaine

Posted by Miss Cellania in Animal, Crime & Law on August 26, 2009 at 12:06 pm


Officials acting on a tip searched a bus in Tarapoto, Peru for cocaine. They had been alerted that the cocaine was in a crate of turkeys, but they didn’t see any. However, the two live turkeys appeared bloated. Police chief Otero Gonzalez said the turkeys had been surgically implanted.

“Lifting up the feathers of the bird, in the chest area, police detected a handmade seam,” he said.

A vet extracted 11 oval-shaped plastic capsules containing 1.9 kilograms (4.2 pounds) of cocaine from one turkey.

A further 17 capsules with 2.9 kilograms (6.4 pounds) were recovered from the other, he said.

The turkeys survived the surgery to remove the cocaine and are recovering. Link -via Arbroath

    How do you tell when a turkey is bloated?

    Being bloated bags of poultry meat is what Turkeys do best.

    This is actually a new type of turkey that they are experimenting with, the cocaine will eventually dissolve into the turkey in order to counter act the protein tryptophan that is in turkeys. Since the cocaine will slowly dissolves over time, very little will still be present by the time the turkey is cooked and ready to eat. Plus the added benefit is the turkeys are much more active with the cocaine in their systems, so the muscle mass of the turkeys is increasing while the fat content is decreasing. This is providing a greater quantity of meat in each turkey and of a much higher quality. They are going to market it as the turkey that doesn't make you sleepy and it should be arriving in stores in time for next year's Thanksgiving celebration.

    Self medication is a human right. All this Turkey abuse comes from your sick society's screwed up urge to control people's medications.

    Thanks Giving is the most pathetic holiday in the U.S., next to Christmas.

    Death to indigenous peoples, death to spirituality.

    Maybe he just had a really painful BM today. I can't tell if he's being serious or if he actually is speaking out against anti-drug laws, traditional holidays and people using farm animals as drug mules. He must be very popular in the activist group circles.
