Happy Thanksgiving Folks

by tempeste

 
cramped in sheds with waste
and dead birds, throats slit or gassed
their pain ends at last

Writing Prompt
Write a 5-7-5 Thanksgiving poem. Give thanks or talk turkey. Either way make it about Thanksgiving.


In America, around 46 million turkeys are killed for Thanksgiving.

Many turkeys are slaughtered without being stunned at all. In the processing plant, turkeys are shackled by their legs and hung upside-down. The turkeys' throats are slit on a circular blade before being placed in a scalding tank meant to loosen feathers. If turkeys are not properly stunned, they often miss the blade.

In England they are gassed.
