Be Kind to Animals

Now, for merely 8 times the cost of a turkey at my local grocery store, I can get a turkey that has been humanely treated and allowed to roam free before it was beheaded, stuffed with breadcrumbs and roasted.

According to the story:
"Some consumers prefer to know that their turkey had the ability to roam free," said Sherrie Rosenblatt, the National Turkey Federation's public relations director.

Is it cruel of me to not care where whether or not my dinner had a full and happy poultry life? In the immortal words of Monty Phython, "A sheep's life consists of standing around for a few months and then being eaten." Same can be said of turkeys.
