“Thanksgiving:

The Worst Holiday”

I do not like how you humans eat us; I mean, we have feelings too. Here’s three reasons you shouldn’t eat us. We do not want to die, turkey isn’t good for you, if you keep eating us we will go extinct ( well maybe.)

I do not want to die. I love the world - the trees are so mighty and tall, feed is very tasty and my pen is nice and comfortable. My Save the Turkey campaign agrees.

Turkey is fat and bad for you. It may taste good - but save yourself and don’t eat it! As the campaign says: “Go healthy, go vegetarian!"

If you keep eating us, we will go extinct. Well, we may not go extinct. Maybe humans in other places are kinder to animals. If humans can adapt, so can turkeys.

I can't speak for all turkeys, hut I think they would agree with me when I say humans could be a lot nicer to us. I hope you agree with me after reading/hearing this. Please eat ham or beef this Thanksgiving.
