I’m joining PETA! People For The Eating Of Tasty Animals.

Next week, I’m looking forward to the traditional turkey dinner!

I love PETA!

Heh

Are they going to ask the country of Turkey to change their name, too?

Will they make similar demands of the country Turkey?

Political correctness is a devastating illness.

Don’t these people have anything else to do? Don’t they have to go euthanize a whole load of cats and dogs somewhere? Than throw all of the dead animals into a dumpster. Now that’s humane! Jerk wads!

They are total hypocrites and nut jobs!

Animal rights morons. I wear leather boots and a sheepskin lined leather flying jacket!

What can I say? I’m politically incorrect. Oh yeah - I wear a down jacket with a real coyote fur ruff, too.

Let PETA have a cow! Heh

Useless drama queens, raising their seasonal profile in the hopes of "goosing" their donation stream.

Wonder how far their compassions for critters goes... Do they welcome ants at their picnics? Do they recoil in horror at a fly swatter? Do they celebrate the termite and run off the exterminator?

Dear PETA,

Thank you for your kind suggestion. Based on your request, we have in fact decided to change the name of our town.

Sincerely,

The citizens of Turducken, Texas (formerly, Turkey, Texas)

PETA asks Turkey, Texas to change name to Tofurky

The town of Turkey, Texas asks PETA to perform an anatomically impossible act

Two thoughts on this:
1) I want a government grant supported job where I can sit around all day and find things to complain about. I am a highly accomplished complainer.
2) The town of Turkey should ask PETA to change its name to WHITE BREAD since turkey sandwiches taste best that way.

Tofurky sounds like a foot fungus.
