Full Title; Turkey dies after being tossed from a plane at an annual Arkansas festival PROMOTING the area's wild bird population

Comment: Reminds me of the funniest WKRP episode ever, perhaps the funniest episode of any sitcom ever.

Turkeys were Hitting the Ground like Sacks of Wet Cement!

[SoCal Pubbie]

What’s wrong with these people?

[longfellow]

Absolutely.

[lafroste]

Since Roe v Wade 50 million kids killed but people crying about this turkey.

STUPID.

Less Nessman calling the action was one of the funniest things I have ever seen

“OHMIGOD THEY’RE HITTING THE GROUND LIKE SACKS OF WET CEMENT...”

Wild turkeys can fly a few hundred yards.

[Gamecock]

I guess turkeys really can’t fly after all!

That and Johnny Fever running out of the transmitter building fleeing the “Phone Police.” (They’re everywhere!!!)

My first impression was this was an optimistic story about Recep Erdoğan of Turkey

[EinNYC]

These inbred pieces of genetic disaster are disgusting, throwing live creatures from planes. Domestic turkeys are bred to have tremendous broad breasts and not so developed wings. They cannot really fly as do lean wild turkeys. It is beyond cruel to subject living creatures to a horrible death, smashing into the ground. Where is the Humane Society and the ASPCA during all this? These folks need to have a load of bird pellet emptied into their rear ends, which probably double as their mouths.

[RegulatorCountry]

If they want to continue with this odd tradition, they need to round up enough wild turkeys to do it. At least they’d have a fighting chance, being capable of limited flight. Tossing domesticated turkeys out of a plane for amusement is cruel. They’re not really capable of flying.

"Every Turkey Dies...But Not Every Turkey Truly Lives!"

[lurk]

Insufficient ratio of wing lift to body weight. Plus the bird likely had little to no practice flying. Or plummeting, as this appears to have been.

If birds could think in words, one wonders what words might have been going through its little bird mind.

Turkey lives matter!
