Did you know that the turkey you're going to enjoy on Thanksgiving Day this Thursday is probably halal? If it's a Butterball turkey, then it certainly is.
I discovered that only two plants in the U.S. that perform halal slaughter keep the halal meat separated from the non-halal meat. At other meat-packing plants, animals are slaughtered following halal requirements, but then only a small bit of the meat is actually labeled halal.
Wendy Howze, a Butterball Consumer Response Representative, responded: "Our whole turkeys are certified halal."
Halal slaughter involves cutting the trachea, the esophagus, and the jugular vein, and letting the blood drain out while saying "Bismillah allahu akbar" -- in the name of Allah the greatest. Many people refuse to eat it on religious grounds.
Others object because of the cruelty to animals that halal slaughter necessitates.
Still others refuse to do so on principle: why should we be forced to conform to Islamic norms? It's Islamic supremacism on the march, yet again.
Non-Muslims in America and Europe don't deserve to have halal turkey forced upon them in this way, without their knowledge or consent.
The same Islamic law that mandates that animals be cruelly slaughtered according to halal requirements also teaches hatred of and warfare against unbelievers, the oppression of women, the extinguishing of free speech, and much more that is inimical to our freedom. Don't support it on this celebration of freedom. Join our Facebook group, 'Boycott Butterball'.
Don't buy a Butterball turkey for Thanksgiving.

Obviously you are both secret Muslims, sent here to undermine our nation, and steal our vital bodily fluids!
Note mention destroy Thanksgiving.

Apologies. I misinterpreted you.
This is good to know... And it’s not “too late” for some of us out there!
The last two Thanksgivings we’ve bought our turkeys from the local meat market — fresh. We’ll be calling again tomorrow morning and crossing our fingers they have an extra for us last-minute by necessity shoppers... Anyway, I will definitely think twice about buying Butterball products in the future.
I’m curious though - for those who have mentioned they will just buy a generic/store brand turkey... How do you know where the turkeys come from? Most store brands are simply regular brands with the branding removed and the store packaging used instead. For instance, at King Soopers in Colorado the store brand yogurt is DANNON yogurt only in a different container (note: I found this out about 10 years ago for King Soopers - don’t know if it is still Dannon). Now, I don’t know if it’s the same for meat, it’s just something that crossed my mind.

I glad we didn’t buy a Butterball.
Butterball is overpriced. We bought a Kroger Premium turkey. Now I am doubly glad we saved our money!
I love butchering koranimals!! 
I just want full disclosure...if Butterball is so damn proud that their turkeys are 'halal'; then put a big bright sticker on it so I can make an INFORMED choice...seems like Butterball is pulling as 'wink-wink' here...
