Some sick motherfuckers in this world. We bought Kroger turkeys for 49 cents a pound.

This info seems to be coming from PETA, so I'll take it with a grain of salt. PETA believes animals should be killed rather than be owned by people. Like cats, dogs, cows, etc. It wouldn't surprise me if they staged those videos.

Yeah fuck PETA, miserable bastards.


From the article:

As an animal shelter regulated by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS), PETA must file a report annually that inventories the dogs, cats and other animals it had on hand during the prior year and that states what happened to them. As we have reported before (see, e.g., here), PETA’s euthanasia rate has consistently exceeded the rates of other shelters in Virginia by wide margins. The data for 2023 is no different.

The graph below, based on data reported to, and published by VDACS, shows shelter euthanasia rates for 2023 — that is how many animals were put down as a percentage of how many animals the shelter had on hand during the year. The results for PETA are shown next to the results for all public shelters, all private shelters and all agencies combined in Virginia.

Would have been fun to be a fly on the wall at the butterball executive meetings discussing this behavior.

OK...We obviously need to come up with some rules...

Rule #1: Don't fuck the turkeys
Rule #2: Remember Rule #1
