Oppose Continued Torture of Turkeys in Nightmare Arkansas Festival!

[What kind of twisted species would hurl live turkeys from airplanes? It underscores their disrespect for the animals whose death they celebrate every fall.]

Every October, the city of Yellville, Arkansas, holds its annual Turkey Trot, an event that includes the notorious “turkey drop.” This year was no exception, as live domestically bred wild turkeys—who normally would fly only short distances and low to the ground—were hurled from an airplane, the courthouse roof, buildings, and the festival stage into the clutches of a frenzied crowd. Thankfully, four birds were rescued by local PETA supporters and provided with veterinary treatment, and they’re currently safe in foster care. More information about this year’s sadistic event can be viewed here.

Once again, please urge Yellville officials to end this cruelty, which is a blight on the entire state—then forward this alert to everyone you know.

  1. Oh boy. So crazy. Look at the smiles and having a good time. For many of humans, I think this is in their genes, violence. Poor animals are the last that we can’t get away with it on, and one day I hope that will end too.

  2. “What kind of twisted species would hurl live turkeys from airplanes?” The unhuman species. This species always lived among us and mimicked being human, but devoid of empathy or compassion. They are so demented and sadistic that they deserve a whole new word to describe them.

    They enjoy spilling blood, and when and where they can get away with it they indulge their lust for blood by doing it to both humans and animals, like the jihadists in the Middle East.

    I decided they deserve a brand new word to describe their true gruesome nature. Similar to ‘undead’ evoking horrors associated with the unnatural, ‘unhuman’ is the only word I find appropriate to describe these human looking monsters.
