My neighbor tried to raise some turkeys for Christmas. Those were bred to grow really quickly but his timing was off. They have to be slaughtered within a small window before they get too fat and their hearts give out. He had to do an early Christmas.

That's a pretty miserable existence for turkeys
It's pretty common for animals in the meat industry. A broiler chicken goes from hatching to supermarket in 6 weeks. That's what's being called efficiency these days.
I worked at a broiler farm one summer. 35 days is the time from when they arrive to when they leave to get slaughtered.
A lot of people live this way too. They just keep working and getting fatter until they die of a heart attack at 60
Lmfao fair point
Don't know about the small window thing. We had turkeys for a while, but to be fair it was more about domestic animals than food source. Those things would get huge. I remember once some friends were coming to visit at night and seeing them on the roof got scared and ran off.
You're supposed to change their feed when they get to the desired size.
I want to be eaten. Nobody's doing anything about that.
Asın lan bayrakları! ASIIIIN!!!

Fun fact : The wolf either references Turkish fascism or ancient furry porn OR the other, less popular ancient furry porn.

If don't want to be eaten, why delicious?
Yo! Grey wolves = fascist, don't repost that shit
Wtf are you on about? They don't get to decide what symbols belong to them. Ok 👌? 🐸 Fuck Nazi's appropriating culture for themselves. Iirc the style of this comment indicates their membership in THE PACK AAYROOOO

Are not grey wolves a cultural symbol related to an old turkish tale? Does not look facist to me.
I'm not letting some obscure group of fucking Turks claim a goddamn emoji as their own and stop using it myself. Same with Pepe, a 🐸 emoji, or 👌. They already have the swastika and a bunch of others from the ACTUAL Nazis, let them use those instead.

You‘re getting downvoted but I agree with you. The joke in the image is funny, but the presence of these grey wolve emojis suggests affiliation with the Grey Wolves which are fascist. No debating that, I don’t get the other comments here.
No they are not right. I can't know the political views of someone in some shitpost, but the original grey wolf symbolim comes from Turkic mythology, which is today being co-opted by racist fucks. It still gets used ironically to make fun of those fucks (just like posting Musk's Nazi salute doesn't automatically make you a nazi if you are making fun of him).
In addition, some people want to reclaim the symbolism, because it's ancient mythology, why would we leave it to them, right?

I'm sure there's a turkey furry out there with a vore fetish.
the greeks are here
My girlfriend is sometimes a turkey and she loves to be eaten. She asks to be eaten. Sometimes, when she's really in need, she begs for me you eat her. I have no idea what the original post was talking about

If they don't want to be eaten all they have to do is say it.
They do, in their own way.
All mine said was "gobble gobble," I'm getting mixed messages here.
If Turkeys dont want to be eaten, why are they made out of food?
As a vegetarian who mostly eats vegan, why is it that I find PETA so annoying?
Without looking into it further, I'm gonna guess the same reason I find a lot of people I agree with on a number of issues so insufferable: holier-than-thou, self-congratulatory, moral crusading.
Just existing and being willing to answer people's questions genuinely is way more effective. I literally never bring it up, people only find out by happenstance and often ask about it themselves. If they don't, it's not that interesting (in my opinion).
Anecdotally, anyway.
I mean, people who you believe to be morally right can still be irritating idiots. I'm not a vegan, but I get it. I have friends who are, I don't say no to a vegan meal (unless there's corn in it because that gives me an unpleasant time on the toilet). I do think PETA is fighting for something they believe in, and I think that's admirable. I also think they're annoying.

A lot of plants don't want to be eaten either. Tough shit, I am hungry.
Wanna guess how many plants are wasted to feed animals, only for humans to eat them?
fun fact: we kill between 1 and 3 TRILLION animals a year for food and textiles.
Wait, that's not a fun fact!
That's it? I was hoping to see at least 10 trillion animals killed this year... /s

Plants have feelings too
No, they do not. There is no serious study to suggest that they do. Plants do not have a brain or central nervous system. At most, they respond to stimuli. If you really care that much about the welfare of plants, you should go vegan, since many more plants "die" for animal feeding.
Do you feel bad while mowing your lawn? And would you rather rescue a potted plant than a dog from a burning house? Is docking pig tails the same as branch trimming to you? Question upon question...

Some do, actually. Most plants that taste good basically rely on being eaten as part of their reproductive cycle.
