“The press [should be] a watchdog. Not an attack dog. Not a lapdog. A watchdog. Now, a watchdog can't be right all the time. He doesn't bark only when he sees or smells something that's dangerous. A good watchdog barks at things that are suspicious.” – Dan Rather

Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow, and fantasy.
It's likely turkey genetics, more than diet, that gets 'em in the end. The big birds are bred to put on weight quickly, and there is no point to life expectancy so they don't have much. A keeper might be able to keep the bird from putting on too much weight, but it'd be severely restricted in its food. I don't know which would make a turkey happier- to have "enough" food, gain weight and die, or to feel like it's starving and live a bit longer. I've been told the average "table" turkey lives about a year, if it escapes being called dinner.
I pledge allegiance to the Earth, one planet, many gods, and to the universe in which she spins.
thats so sad I hope that turkey is in a better place.
