"We’re lucky turkeys would never do this to us—you don’t have to do it to them, either," PETA wrote in a caption to a post that has received over 26.7 million views online. The picture attached to the post depicts a family of turkeys sitting around a human turkey at the center of the table.
Classic PETA move. Make something outlandish and get twice (or ten times) the exposure when
Actually, the line that PETA uses about Turkeys not eating us is sort of dumb. But the important part which seems to have been neglected by the critics is that "you don’t have to do it to them, either,"
Republican strategist Scott Presler wrote, "Do you ever post about how many birds are killed by wind turbines?"
Maybe. I found out with just a little googling that the best estimate is less than a million a year. Which seems insignificant when it's estimated that windows are responsible for almost a billion bird deaths each year.
But maybe more importantly 46 million turkeys are slaughtered each year. Most of them on Thanksgiving.
But 46 millions pales before the 70 Billion chickens consumed worldwide annually. (202 million chickens every day.)
