because they breed quickly.

Yeah, they're related to the dodo bird.

95- Turkeys are still around... Because people eat them? What?

124- exactly what I was thinking. Made no sense.

it does make sense, people eat them therefore they breed them like cows and other farm animals

Survival of the fittest refers to how much surviving offspring the animal has, since turkeys are bread and survive until adulthood, they are fit.

I was not aware they were a starch. >:) @ above "bread".

It does make sense. They don't need to be the join the survival of the fittest because we make sure they breed to survive and protect them because we farm them for food. It's really not that complicated.

The other is to stalk the animal, follow it home, and strangle it with a pillow while it sleeps.

I think the turkey had just given up on life at this point.

Yes, he totally meant to kill the turkey. I see no douchebaggery, it was an accident.

Two hot chicks arguing! Stand by for more...

I would hate to hear what 20 would have said if op did it on purpose.

Then she would appreciate it, being a chef from Le Cordon Bleu and all.

He shouldn't have been trying to shoo it away like that in the first place! It wasn't hurting him.

So you're saying that you have to wait before the turkey viciously attacks you and gets the advantage by already being in your face flapping and pecking and shit before you just try to shoo it away? "Shoo" it away Not trying to kick the crap out of it until it leaves But just nudge your foot in a way to scare the creature to leave you alone? That's wrong? Now I understand if he was just trying to beat the shit out of the turkey before he got attacked...but not just trying to scare it away bro sorry

Calm down, it's a turkey. Besides, it was an accident.

Really? He ''murdered someone?'' You're kidding right? If you aren't, I think by your standards I'm a serial killer!

Is the "was just as important as you" a thinly veiled reference to The Doctor's "900 years of time and space and I've never met anyone who wasn't important" by any chance?

The lives of animals are clearly just important as those of people... Oh damn, I just stepped on an ant, I might as well just go down to the police station and turn myself in.

Well, yes. The only reason you think human life is important is because you are a human. Survival of the species and all that. If you were a dog, you would think a dogs life was more important than a humans. The only difference being that humans kill and destroy without hesitation or regret. Looks odd? Kill it. Acts different? Kill it. Don't understand? Kill it. Dogs on the other hand, do not and are not really even aware that the spider they just snorted into oblivion was a living thing that could feel pain. Humans are aware of such facts but simply choose to ignore them.

Sorry I overreacted but my dog of 13 yrs. just had just died because he got hit by a car and I was super emotional. It sucks for the guy and the turkey.
