Wow, i never knew these things existed either. It does seem kind of barbaric, and i don't know if i would participate- but this was a very amusing read!

Yeah, they die either way, but how would it feel if you were the one out there tied up in a box while people took pot shots at you. That is horrible. And, no I am not a fan of PETA, and I do enjoy a nice turkey dinner for Thanksgiving and Christmas. But there are better ways of shooting one.
Also, it is not a smart idea to serve beer to people who are shooting guns.

OK you are right boxing up a turkey and shooting it is NOT a sport. It is a barbaric way to torture and kill an animal. Any animal.1) Who said anything about sport? This was a way of raising money for charity. Why should killing an animal for food involve sport anyway? Why should they get a "sporting chance"? I suppose hunting deer with a high powered rifle hidden from view is sporting? Or do you take exception to deer hunting too?
OK it is a dumb turkey, but at least it isn't a cruel turkey.2) This is a TURKEY we are talking about, not a human!! a dumb animal, a dumb animal raised for being KILLED!
It is horrible because there are people who think that this is an OK method of killing.3) What is "horrible" why is it "horrible"? I don't understand the basis or purpose of that statement.
Then in that case, there are better ways to raise money.4) Better how? Remember the primary purpose isn't "killing turkeys" it is raising money.
We're not going to turn vegetarian any time soon.
I'v heard that the meat gets more tender if the animals release adrenaline/endorphines/whatever. Don't remember if the article said anything about harmful effects if it.nat said:As far as I know some studies showed that torturing a mammal before killing it (as they do for instance in Korea) releases toxins in its body, making it somewhat less good for the eater's health. I don't know if it is true for birds.
BS..........I lived in Korea for 9 years and I never saw or heard of this.nat said:As far as I know some studies showed that torturing a mammal before killing it (as they do for instance in Korea) releases toxins in its body, making it somewhat less good for the eater's health.

Animal: A multicellular organism of the kingdom Animalia, differing from plants in certain typical characteristics such as capacity for locomotion, nonphotosynthetic metabolism, pronounced response to stimuli, restricted growth, and fixed bodily structure.They are animals; we are not.
+1If you want sporting, take to the field after the master of reconnaisance...Mr. Wild Turkey. He'll give ya all the sport you can handle. And...if you're good enough to best him...the most succulent cooked bird that ever graced your table.
