I know that on the 22nd we're supposed to show thanks for what we have, but if you think about it, isn't Thanksgiving one giant slaughter?? Millions of turkeys are brutally butchered in order to complete our Thanksgiving meal. Don't get me wrong, I'm still having turkey but it's screwed up if you think about it.
Any thoughts?

Soo, do you have a problem with the millions of chickens or cows or pigs that are slaughtered for every other day consumption? How about those crab out in the Bering Sea that are caught by the masses?
Not griping, just wondering how you feel about them! : ) I don't feel bad at all, they all taste sooo yummy!

Here is another reality. Thanksgiving is an annual celebration of the theft and massacre of the very Native Americans that tried to help the pilgrims learn how to survive in this country.
So the fact that thousands of animals are slaughtered in honor of the day is actually somewhat fitting.
No Thanks No Giving
With so many in this country living in disease, poverty and starvation, shouldn't you be thankful everyday?

I am a animal lover by nature but the other hand they only raise these birds to be cooked for the holidays at least they are on the earth for a very short time because I would say half of them wouldnt be born at all-

You do realize that most of those turkeys wouldn't even be alive if it weren't for Thanksgiving. They are bred to be slaughtered. Happy eating!!!

Turkey is sold year round, not just at Thanksgiving... They are raised for this purpose and aren't pets. So, Eat until you can't eat anymore!!!

I want chicken. Turkey is too dry. We have wild turkeys that walk around our house and they are so cute. I love the way they bob their head. As for the mass murder? I don't care too much.

Soooooooo, millions of chickens die so you can eat them too most of the rest of the year right so what is the difference?
