Thanksgiving Controversy - Many Furries Outraged.
18 years ago
(I figured I might as well share some of my fun here on FA too.)
Avian furries rallying against what is being called a PR stunt by the Bush Administration.
Today, president Bush pardoned two turkeys in what is being criticized as a move to appeal to avian furries but ignores the heart of the problem. Thousands of birds are slaughtered during Thanksgiving, which avian furs say is something the Bush Administration has failed to address. They say that the Bush Administration has "refused to comment on the mass genocide against our feathered brethren" and that "this PR stunt doesn’t change the suffering our brethren endure."
This isn’t the only controversy the Bush Administration has had with avian furs. In 2006, Vice President Cheney went on a hunting trip to shoot quail. However, the event came to a quick end when VP Cheney made a fellow hunter apologize for being in the way of his bullets. Avian furries hailed this as a warning against those who would harm their fellow feathered friends. Cheney was unavailable for comment on the statements made by avian furs.
The two turkeys were nicknamed Flyer and Fryer, and will reportedly be honored guests in Disneyland’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Some avian furs have said that this is "a start, but more birds should be pardoned." One avian furry went as far to demand that a national ban on all bird meats be brought into law. Others threatened to spread the flu this season if this massacre doesn’t stop.
On a lighter note, the pardoned turkeys will spend the rest of their lives at Kidwell Farm’s Frying Pan Park. It is unknown what the average life span of a turkey that lives there is, but many reporters say that the farm’s turkey breast sandwiches are the freshest and tastiest they’ve ever had!
(Note: Some of this information came from MSN and CNN. It's a mish-mash between the two.)

I'll probably catch a lot of flack, but avians can go stuff themselves. Literally, because it'll save me some time in cooking the damn birds.
