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.

Arkansas just passed North Korea in the arms race.

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.

wild turkeys can fly. 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.

yep, the farm raised turkeys would fly about as well as those fictionally dropped on WKRP.

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.

Was Sarah Palin doing a TV spot at the time?

U of C? Wild parakeets. Monk parakeets, also called quaker parakeets. They're all over the city. We get them in our yard in winter.

worse than a deer, which mostly ding-up a quarter-panel:

No. I agree. 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.
