Today, I was taking a peaceful stroll in the local park when a curious turkey decided to follow me. Trying to shoo it away, I swung my leg at it, as if to fake kick it. Being the stupid animal it is, it decided to fly into my leg as I swung, causing my foot to connect to its neck. It died. FML

well no sense in wasting it now....I smell dinner! way fresher then your local super market and no additives! here honey, I caught dinner with my two bare hands....all by myself lol....yah that's it!

YOU KILLED A TURKEY -_____- but wait....where the hell did it come from?

YDI for 1.) saying it's a stupid animal, and 2.) trying to shoo it away like that. It wasn't hurting you or bothering you, so why try to scare it away? You killed an innocent animal for no reason. I think you're the stupid one. Or, should I say, bird brain? I'm an animal rights activist and you, buddy, are a heartless imbecile. Like I said, that turkey wasn't bothering you, it was just following you. Leave the poor thing alone. YDI for being a jerk.

1) Animals aren't nearly as smart as us buddy. Any human that runs neck-first into a kick would be considered stupid; why not a turkey? 2) Turkeys are very malicious animals. Given the chance, they WILL attack you and they WILL do damage. 3) Were the OP a "heartless embecile," he wouldn't have felt the need to post this on FML. 4) Any animal rights activist is even dumber than the animals that he/she is trying to protect. Animals have primitive, basic minds. They run more off of instinct than thought. And believe me, that animal that you're trying to "protect" will attack and kill you in a HEARTBEAT. Judgemental asshole.

85 you sound like one of those activists who doesn't quite understand things but doesn't let that stop you from taking severe personal offense to every slight.

101- you're wrong on four. Who says most humans don't run mostly on basic thought processes. Many animals don't behave in the manner you suggest, many act on thought processes beyond basic instinct.

#101, I'm fairly sure that the turkey OP was talking about was a brush turkey, i.e. native to Australia and not much bigger than a chicken. Definitely not going to kill anyone.

101 is partially correct. Animal activist as also are against circuses (dont get me wrong so am I) but those elephants and tigers and lions? They will and do kill people. Some animals are dangerous to people and turkeys can be very mean and slash at you. Had it happen to me. Don't judge to harshly.

Am I the only one who finds it ironic that 85 said that birds aren't stupid and then proceeded to call OP a bird brain? Surely if bird's aren't stupid then calling someone a bird brain wouldn't be an insult and may even be a compliment? Your logic confuses me 85.

I voted both FYL and YDI on this one... You didn't mean to kill it, I get that, and you obviously feel bad about it. And that sucks. But if you're going to lash out at an animal (or any other living thing, this could have been a confused toddler following you) you should be prepared for accidents. There was really no need to kick out at the poor thing. So on that note, you deserved it but I think you learned from this.

Turkeys are so stupid they stare up at the sky when it rains and drown. Now eat it.

Sounds like your bringing home supper :)

This is a lie. Turkeys are very smart.

Poor animal, hate people who shoo animals aways or scream. Urgh

I screamed at a bear when he was sniffing around my camp in Colorado. Does that make me mean?
