A little late but a cruel new Thanksgiving "sport"

[Karen]

I won;t believe it until I see documentation, as that would be "animal cruelty" and therefore illegal.

Exactly Karen. Who would be dumb enough to do that??? lol

Hmmmmm ....

Although anything is possible, I suppose, I'm not sure I'd worry too much about this one.

I have never heard a single word about this anywhere. I would also imagine the logistics of this would be prohibitively difficult for most people ... where exactly does one get a live turkey, for one thing? And how does one control and subdue a live, presumably angry, thirty pound bird long enough to put a rope around it's neck and swing it around?

Not saying it's not possibly ... it just seems like too much work for the average prankster to want to contend with.

Are you sure it wasn't with frozen turkeys? We have a Turkey Bowling at our winter festival here. Bowling on a frozen street with frozen turkeys. It's ridiculous! We've had the turkeys donated to our dogs after the event the last few years!

I don't know anything else about it as I just herd it from my teacher.

I know that it would be labled cruelty thats why I wondered why it would be going on.

Maybe they arent alive then, but still thats so wrong!

I saw a news story about people throwing frozen turkey's that were on fire. They were swinging them on a rope over their heads & the person who threw the turkey the farthest won. I don't know what state it was from.

Perhaps that's what your teacher meant?

This sounds more plausible.
