PETA had deemed this cruel, as most of the turkeys died in just a few weeks, since they were bred to be eaten, they had a lot of fat.<BR/><BR/>In order to appease PETA, the turkeys are now sent to Disneyland - at Disney's expense - to a special farm. I'm not sure if there's turkey aerobics or weight loss classes planned for them, but they also got to be the grand marshall of Disney's Thanksgiving Day parade.<BR/><BR/>As for sticking them below, I asked that too, and was told a turkey is too fragile to do that, and would likely die in transit.<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/><BR/>- Scott -Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01187435106015051061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8449039.post-1133160375581723442005-11-28T01:46:00.000-05:002005-11-28T01:46:00.000-05:00Wow Scott.
