Apparently no one in Arkansas has seen WKRP. http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/drop ... itter_abcn "As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly," |

FAA regulations don't specifically deal with dropping live animals out of airplanes, so they have no authority to prohibit the practice. |

Inhumane. Fuck them. Turkeys can fly, but it's very limited. Usually just enough to fly into windshields. This is fucked up, though. Fuck these assholes. |

Wild birds fly okay when coming out of roost but that would not be the same as out of a moving plane at any altitude. |

From the article: "They can fly a long ways," Woods told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette last year. "We treat the turkeys right. That may sound ironic, but we don't abuse those turkeys. We coddle and pet those turkeys. We're good to them." Easy Lennie. |

Is it too much to ask these shit kickers to not throw live animals from an airplane? |

The level of stupidity of our fellow Americans never ceases to amuse. These people's moves are indefensible, but not surprising. And thanks to a profits driven war on public education, it's only going to get worse. |

The farm raised birds we currently have are however physically unable to fly as they have been selectively bred to be heavier. |

Even if these are wild type they’d have been raised o. A fam thus not developing the flight muscles they’d need. I love watching the wild ones around here when I’m in a deerstand. Graceful is not a word I’d describe their ascent to their roost at night. Their decent us pretty good though. The broad breasted we eat would likely fly or glide as well as a bag of rocks. |

Hey Walt, I thought the Arkansas Turkey Drop was a new Graded Stakes Race at Oaklawn. |

aren't there wild turkeys down around U of C. Arkansas is a state of surprising natural beauty, esp compared to pancake-flat Illinois. maybe these local yokels do these things on purpose to keep us Yankees from visiting them too often. |

Wild parakeets. Monk parakeets, also called quaker parakeets. They're all over the city. We get them in our yard in winter. https://www.flickr.com/photos/144965645 ... ed-public/ |

We hunt wild turkeys and they are in the trees all the time. I was just calling him Lennie as he seemed to really love his turkeys. Almost too much. |

Well, we'll act like a bunch of ____________ then. |
