I was shocked to read recently a report that said that around 45 million turkeys will be killed this year in the States as a result of demand for the annual feasts, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Don't you think we ought to give these poor creatures a break? Just think, while we look forward to the festive season each year, these innocent birds are shivering in their shoes, knowing that they will be carved up on someone's dinner table very soon. Unfortunately old traditions die hard and so the mass slaughter must continue.
So spare a kind thought for our feathered friends next time round. As they say, one good turn deserves another. Who knows, you may be saved by a turkey one day .... gobble! gobble!
