I do a "Sopranos" Thanksgiving. I hire a local poultry farm to "whack" a live bird for my dinner. [Full disclosure:When I was much younger (and much stupider) I was a member of PETA for a year or so-concerned about HOW animal testing was conducted]. The Vegan/vegetarian BS, plus the TRULY ,frightening beliefs of those folks got me out of there REAL quick.
