Its Turkey Time Again
November 23, 2008 on 11:02 pm | In Photos | CommentsEvery year for Thanksgiving people are getting ready to sit down to eat turkey. Today I was able for the second year in a row, help with the 4-H heritage breed turkey slaughter. What an amazing experience, this was attended by full families young and old all helping. What is so great about this program is that these are kids who raise these birds, sell them in auction, then help with the processing of the birds.

How very nice, love the giblets, not for gravy tho LOL
Did you see the news coverage of one of Sarah Palin’s interviews, filmed in front of local turkeys being slaughtered? The news media made such a fuss of it, blurring out and sanitizing the images of the upside down turkeys in the background and making comments about how unappetizing the site was, etc. I was really disgusted with the media feeding frenzy on this, not the normal site of turkeys being humanely processed to nourish countless people.
It’s really shame how compartmentalized food production has become, and how separated people are from their food production, whether we’re talking about plant OR animal food (industrial-scale plant crops kill nature and animals in its own brutal way with soil degradation, habitat destruction, chemical applications, and harvesting machines, but most plant eaters don’t know that, either).
Ugh, I meant to write sight, not site. Need more coffee, I guess.
I saw the pixellated turkey heads and wondered about that – I’m in Australia, I don’t know that the TV networks would do that here.
Thanks for the photos, they’re very interesting.
One of my earliest memories is raising turkeys and chickens for the local (Walnut Creek!) 4-H club over 30 years ago. Henrietta (yes, I named her..) was killed, cleaned and consumed in our back yard. My parents thought it was important for all of us (5 kids…) to gain understanding and respect for our food cycle, at a young age. Ah yes, these pictures remind me of family holidays!
Happy Thanksgiving, Chris!

Yeah… you all are rediculously heartless. “Nourishing people”??? There is no need to nourish a carnist… they’ve already given up on their health by consuming flesh. FLESH EATERS. Wow… way to be proud of slaughtering innocent creatures in the name of your stomach and taste buds. Sick sick SICK people. Enjoy your death you freakin’ MONSTERS.
Have you seen the video of turkey slaughter at http://www.theperennialplate.com – the most recent two videos, quite intense and beautiful.
