It won't be a Happy Thanksgiving for "Peace"

Question

"Peace", one of two turkeys pardoned by President Obama last year ,was euthanized Monday...( KOD )..

Rebecca Aloisi, vice president for marketing at the Mount Vernon Estate, confirmed that " Peace" had been dead after a weekend "illness." But Aloise knew neither the nature of the illness, the manner of death, nor what had been done with the remains of the large, edible bird.

"I appreciate where you're going with this," Aloisi told CNN. "But I assure you that these birds are extremely well cared for." The decision to euthanize the bird was made by a veterinarian in consultation with Mount Vernon's livestock department, she said.

At the Nov. 23, 2011, pardoning, President Obama said Peace was "going to retire to a life of leisure at Mount Vernon - the same place where George Washington spent his golden years."( another broken promise)..

But now Peace is dead.

..and it looks like "Cobbler" and "Gobbler" the two turkeys pardoned by President Obama this year will face a similar fate .........

Reminds me of the motorcyclist who survived striking a deer on his Harley. He was picking himself up from the roadway and counting his blessings, when when he was hit and run over by a church van heading to revival meeting. The highway patrol pronounced the biker dead at the scene.

TheGoldenGoose · Answer

The point is, she was at the turkey farm for a photo op, to pardon a turkey.  Then a turkey gets decapitated while she sips a java.  Hilarious.https://community.adn.com/adn/node/134739

SarasotaSlim · Answer

Yes, that is funny ...but back to the topic ..before the deflection to Palin ..

U.S. UN Ambassador Susan Rice explained,that the sudden death of the turkey (Peace) was because of a spontaneous reaction to an anti-Muslim video posted on YouTube...

Mods ,please move this thread to the food forum. TIA

SarasotaSlim · Answer

What really happened was..&#xD;&#xA;President Obama pardoned "Peace" and said, that he was going to retire to spend his golden years in a life of leisure .. but as soon as he aged and got an illness ...( like with Obamacare ).. "Peace" was referred to the "Death Panels" and euthanized....

Slim: Love the new avatar.   Twinkies will be reborn after the bankruptcy, after the Union Busting is complete.   The new corporate owners will be able to hire workers for $10 / hr and the price of the Twinkies will double.  This, of course, because the peons should consider themselves lucky to be able to purchase Twinkies from the corporate oligarchy.

UberDog · Answer

&#xD;&#xA;And when the once again company falters because consumers refuse to pay the higher price, Slim will blame Michelle Obama&#x27;s campaign to eat healthy foods. It&#x27;s always a win win when all your mission is to spin and divide.
