Dear Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, President of the United States and all the other really important people in this room,

I stand here before you on all of my 4 legs to plead for my life.  To you, I might seem just like a typical holiday meal- ready to slice off my head and fry me up. But I am more than that. I have hopes and dreams, I have good days and bad days and I desperately want to see more of those days. Us turkeys have so little voice in our own lives, so little rights in this world of yours and I decided this morning that today was my day to use my voice, use my wobble and plea for my life.

I beg of you, to look me in the eye, tell me I am not worthy. Tell me I am of better use cooked.

You can’t do it? I didn’t think so.  Save this turkey’s life. Please.

Ladies and gentleman, we are here today to determine which turkey shall be pardoned this year. And I personally think I should be pardoned. The reason I should be pardoned this year is because I can talk unlike any of the other turkeys. And I also have thoughts and feelings. As well as being able to talk when you kill me I will loudly scream out for help. Another reason is that you would be killing the first turkey ever to talk and probably the last. And could you look me in the eyes and tell me that I am going to die just so a few people could have a meal. I should die on a farm from natural causes not from a knife. So I ask you now to please pardon me from being killed this year.

I should not be eaten because I wouldn't taste good, I mean think about it. I poop and pee and everything that is in me is nasty. I also walk around in the wild and it's gross out there. Also why would you kill a wild animal for no reason thats thats the dumbest thing ever. Why turkey though, go kill a piggy and eat ham instead of turkey. That's why you shouldn't kill me and I know and that was so good that I know you wont kill me.

It all started in 1238 when I was born, I was always fed pig because mom said they were ungrateful pink dirty fat pieces of meat. At the time i was 3 so even if i liked pigs i could do nuthen. I loved to play fruit, fruit was a game mosty for kids, how you played was the parents would take you to a place where there are fruit trees then they would say “FRUIT!” which ment i had to go get a  piece of fruit for mother then she would just, eat i guess. Then when i got hungry i would say “FRUIT!” but then mother would say “i quit so go get your own fruit.” Even though I got angry I went to get a piece of fruit for myself and when I came back mother was gone. I yelled and yelled for her and I got nothing. I started to have a panic attack but it was getting late so I decided to go to sleep under an apple tree. I hope you are okay mother, I kept saying to myself. --- The Next Morning --- i gave up on looking for my mother, if i got lucky she would come to me. It is now 1874 and mother has not come to me. BANG!! Something hit me and then I remember people plucking my feathers out to eat me. I yelled STOP! DON'T KILL ME PLEASE The people got confused because they thought I was dead, I explained to them that I am just a young turkey even though I was 636 years old, they let me go.

You may think of me as your thanksgiving dinner but I am more than that. I am a turkey father and I have a family to take care of. If you kill me right now you'll get to have your nice meal. But that's just a meal. If you let me free I can go home and have a fun happy life with my friends and family. If you kill me your are killing an innocent bird. You murderer.

From the true perspective of a turkey-

Gobble, gobble gob gobble gobble, gobble, gobble gobble Gobble gobble. Gob gob gobble? Gobble gobble gob, gobble, gobble gobble gobble, gobble gobble gob gob gobble. Gobble gobble, gobble gob, gobble gobble gob gobble. Gobble gob, gobble gobble. Gobble gobble gob gob gobble. Gobble gobble gob gobble.

Gobble, gobble gobble.

Translation-

(Mr. President, whichever one of the countless old men surrounding me you are, please, don’t eat me for Thanksgiving dinner. Am I not a living being to you? I have a heart and a soul, I feel things, like all of the other turkeys from my farm, and all of the other animals in this world. I have a family, and they are waiting for me, so please, this Thanksgiving, just eat tofurky. I promise it tastes like the real thing. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely, Tater the Turkey.

Dear the President of the United States,

Hi my name is Tallulah. I know turkeys seem like a typical Holiday meal but I'm not. I have 8 turklings back at home that I have to take care of and I want to have a very successful retirement at the turkey gobble gobble retirement home. After my long and  successful career of being a turkey I realized that it's very important to end your life on a good note. Therefore, I think you should not choose me to eat you should choose that weird turkey dude over to your left. He looks way less intelligent than me, I mean he's wearing reindeer antlers. What kind of turkey wears reindeer antlers? Anyways, just definitely do not eat me. IM WARNING YOU.

Sincerely,

Tallulah the Turkey

Dear people of the government. I don't want to be eaten with my fellow brothers. Eat them instead, I don't taste as good as them. I actually taste horrible. I also goble well so I could be entertaining to people. Also I have a very soft feather, very good for petting. I don't want to be food. Also I have many dreams of my own like not being eaten is the first and second is not being eaten and third is not being eaten. I think I have won you over but I PLEAD FOR MY LIFE!

I have 3 reasons why my fellow turkeys and me shouldn't be treated wrongly. First of all we always get eaten and we demand you humans to stop. If you don't stop we'll make our meat bad so u cant eat it. Second reason we shouldn't be treated wrongly is because we help eat the hard as rock food you guys give us and we think you humans should give us better food and if you dont we wont eat and you guys wont get any turkey. Third but last reason is because don't you guys have rights why shouldn't we turkeys have rights to. And these are the reasons why my fellow turkeys should not be treated wrongly but rightly.
