Peta: Mr. President Please Don’t Pardon the Turkey
Read Time:1 Minute, 1 Second
President Barack Obama will do the annual pardoning of the turkey today , and at least one group is raising major objections: PETA. The famous animal-rights group sent a letter to Obama complaining that the ceremony “makes light of the mass slaughter of some 46 million gentle, intelligent birds,” reports the Hill.
Assuming the president is unpersuaded, either Cobbler or Gobbler will get the pardon, and for the first time, the White House is asking the public to decide which one is worthy. (Daily Intel finds that a little creepy.) Obama will pardon the lucky fowl this afternoon in a Rose Garden ceremony, the AP reports.
For now, the 19-week-old turkeys are living large at Washington’s fancy W Hotel about a block from the White House. Seriously. “They’ve been good guests,” the general manager tells Fox News. “We haven’t had any noise complaints from their neighbors.” The hotel chef has been fixing them an organic snack mix of grains and cranberries and they’re “gobbling it up,” the manager adds.

PETA is much like religious organizations. They wish to force their uninformed, erroneous opinions on everyone else while engaging in hypocritical actions they belie what they say. For example, PETA’s animal “shelters” kill more animals a year than those of any other organization.
