Y'know...this is actually a really interesting topic...it's very paradoxical. While I think that the truck driver who ran over the turkey was a retard, I don't think I feel all that bad. I mean, I go out every year to South Dakota for a week to blow the hell out of some pheasants with my dad. We barely, if ever, eat the meat, although we do give it to people who could use it (like homeless shelters and the such). But still, we pretty much go and kill lots of birds (we have a 30-or-so group of people for the first half hour of opening day, and in the space of a Half hour we've all either limited out (the limit is 3 birds) or gone over the limit--we kill about 100 birds in 30 minutes) with no intention of actually using them for ourselves. But, then again, the brids are almost always dead by the time they hit the ground, too, so it's not like they're really suffering.

Bah, I don't know where I"m trying to go so I'll just shut up now.

You made their death so quick that they didn't have time to feel the pain, then gave the meat to the needy? Where's the issue in that? If you just run it over and leave it to suffer, then it's a problem.

Also, other people have to live with the mess of roadkill too. Be considerate!

You made me laugh at that, and in the process, damned me to hell.

One time we were driving to Montana in our big Ford Expedition (which is what I'm driving now...friggin' biggest lunker ever) and we were towing a 4-wheeler trailer with 3 ATVs loaded on it and we were going 50 MPH on this little two-lane highway at 2 in the morning when a racoon decided to skitter out into the road right in our path.

Now, being in an enormous top-heavy SUV that's an older ('97, to be exact) model without some of the safety features that the new ones have today, not to mention being laden with about a ton of ATV machinery on the back, there wasn't exactly anything we could do to slow down or even attempt at swerving out of the way.

A loud -BA-BUMP!- jarred me out of my uncomfortable sleep.

"Poor little guy," my dad said. "Oh, well. There was nothing we could really do."


And it's true! I didn't even feel bad from that, because it was unavoidable. And we were driving around at 2 AM in the morning looking for the Cabin we were gonna stay at, and dammit, we weren't gonna stop in the middle of who-knows-where to scrape a raccoon off the road!

I'm pretty sure the Ton (maybe even more...I don't think the trailer hit him, though) of car traveling at 50 MPH killed him pretty quick, if not instantaneously, though. So, the li'l guy didn't really suffer.


There's my animal death story for the day.

I would have given the truck driver a pat on the back then given him a cup of laxative to drink.

Don't forget to put a jar of pep pills in his laxatives! Then he can be hyperactive in more than one way!

We’ve watched while the stars burned
Out, and creation played in reverse.
The Universe freezing in half-light.
Once I thought to escape.
To end a master, step out of the
Path of collapse. Escape would make us God.
Yet I cannot help but remember one enigma,
A hybrid, elusive destroyer.
This is the one mystery I have not solved.
The only element unaccounted for.

He deserves to have someone run into him. Unfortunately, acts of cruelty to animals often go unpunished. Bastards politician don't think that it's worthy of punishment...

Killing an animal is killing an animal.

You can't justify it by saying you're going to eat it. It doesn't matter to the turky whether you plan on using its corpse or not. If you have a problem with people killing animals then you'd be a hypocrite to not have a problem with eating killed animals.

On another note, I hate turkies. In fact I hate most 'farm animals.'

This is a paradox for one thing i thingk the guy who ran the turky over is a cruel basterd but i also thingk that killing a animal is killing a animal.I dont expect anyone to agry with me and i damn well dont care either.If the guy ran over a -blam!-en turkey deliberatly then so what its a -blam!- turkey.he wasent starving a animal to death or tourchering it he just simply ran it over it was either killed quicly or within minuts so it dident experiance excruciateing pain for a long time.But i do get were you are comeing at and the death of the turky is sad but there is nothing you or anyone else can do about it.And who said that killing a animal should be grounds for a prison sentence is on something i mean yes it is a liveing being but it was a animal if you want someone in jail for squashing a bug or hiting a deer on a dark road then this whole country would be incarcerated.My point is it is sad that a turkey died by the deliberate cruelness of some truck driver but it is a lone turky not a group of turkeys not a bundel of pupies just a lone turkey.Now on to my sandwich.

I would have cut his balls off and fed them to his mother for bringing him up lie that, then I would have scrambled his intestines and vomited in his mouth...

although killing an animal is like Gladius said, killing an animal. But if someone goes out of their way to do such, then it is wrong. Hunting is good though.

Of course, a 14 year-old doesn't pose much of a threat to a road-hardened turky-killing truck driver.

You should have eaten it for Thanksgiving.

P.S. That is a joke.

I see where you're coming from, Obbi, but we're not too worried about the turkey and what it wants with its corpse. We're worried about whether or not it goes to a good cause. The turkey dies so that the homeless can have a nice dinner, everybody's happy, and the turkey is now a martyr.
