Sarah Palin Turkey Murder Interview (Video)

By The Staff at wowOwow.com

Poor bird.

Sarah Palin appeared on a local news station on Thursday to pardon a turkey from slaughter in anticipation for Thanksgiving. Upon pardoning a bird, the fallen vice-presidential candidate did an interview. As the Alaska governor spoke to a reporter about serious issues, she was totally oblivious that a worker was slaughtering a turkey behind her! For more than three minutes, Palin spoke about the campaign trail and her plans for sprucing up Alaska’s economy (amid plummeting oil prices, Alaska’s prize commodity). Meanwhile, watch the clip below to see what happened to the poor bird in the background:

I can only imagine. I cry if BUGS slam into my WINDSHIELD for crap’s sake! I wonder how we can claim to be so spiritually and intellectually advanced and superior to animals…while behaving like un-evolved cave-dwellers.

I would have thought, though, that there is a faster way to kill a turkey than the way that man was killing it.

DeB, I suspect that the guy was so busy watching Palin that he was very slowed down. Probably, what with more than one funnel in the background, there are more than one person working the line at once. As far as how fast, it would depend how fast the birds are beheaded, wouldn’t it? So, I wonder what kind of device is at the other end.

My expectation is all Americans will now refuse to eat turkey. Got this? You are to never again eat turkey. We cannot tolertate this type of cruelty simply so we can become fat, dumb and happy. No more turkey for Americans. Cow, chicken, buffalo, fish, pheasant, bull, eel, dog, zebra, caribou, moose, cat, rat, duck, horse, goose, goat and especially whale, you may continue to slaughter and eat those animals and other animals. No turkey, though. My presumption is none of you or very few of you have ever slaughtered hogs. Quite the art, you know. A lot of work, as well. I take pride in being the child favored to slit the throats of hogs. I am very good at this. I provide a quick and fairly painless death being well versed with a sharp knife. I am interested in those funnel like devices used at this turkey farm in the background. Rather ingenious, certainly works well to prevent a large turkey from flopping around in search of its sliced off head. We could have well used one of those on our rural Oklahoma farm. I am amused by Americans who gobble down animals with delight, while demanding to not learn of how those animals die for them. Will you ever again be able to rest your head upon a goose down pillow?

We will just do our utmost to avoid the Alaskan who grants them pardons, then kills them anyhow. Typical politcal talk out of both sides of your face.

C Hardy, darling, sweety, dearest, I was just making an example of how she continually does things that make her look silly. Or the people around her do it for her.

Or better yet, Okpulot: How about all the vegans who wear leather shoes, jackets etc. Even the dreaded FUR COAT. Oh, my.

Did she say…”At least this is fun!”???????

Yes, she did, Brooklyn Gal and then she added something to the effect: We need a little levity after the last couple of months. I know ‘turkey slaughter’ is the first thought that comes to my mind when I hear ‘fun’. Peace and grace
