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.

Dear Mr. President And Others,

Excuse me, but why eat me out of all the other turkeys out there. I was once a young turkey and I wanted to have a good life, and not a life that ends up getting eaten. I have some really fun days, like chasing kids when they chase me, and running around in a huge area. Instead I would get eaten by people with gravy and stuffing in me. Imagine you getting stuffed and eating by people, and your family watching you get taken away to be eaten. You would want to go have more days in your life, but instead, you get your head sliced off, and eaten with biscuits and mashed potatoes. That’s exactly how I feel, and I want to live the rest of my life in peace and have more fun days. Please, if you understand how us turkeys feel, you would feel miserable for us. Again, I hope you can figure out why I don’t want to be eaten, and served with biscuits and mashed potatoes.

Sincerely,

The Turkey You Almost Ate

Dear ladies and gentlemen I stand here before you to ask for one thing as I stand here on 2 legs. I would like to say that I’m not just a turkey. I have a life the same as you, and we have hopes and dreams but with the holiday meals we can’t make those dreams possible. Us turkeys don’t have a loud or strong voice but I stand here to plead for not just my life but others too. As you stare into my eye I want you to tell me I would be greater If I were cooked and eaten. If you can’t do that would you stand by my side and help save more turkeys.

Dear Everyone,

Look at me, see those determined eyes and pointy beak. Don’t even get me started on the claws. Just because you humans eat my kind doesn't mean I am not willing to put up a fight. Understand one thing and one thing only. I have a life, a family I will fight for them. They need their mama back. This piece of meat isn’t going in the oven today. I promise to make a good home for myself with my turkey family. So I am able to live a full turkey life. My baby turkey hasn’t even graduated yet, I wanna see my baby. I deserve this pardon because I will be able to watch my dear baby child grow up without the fear of being eaten by some human! I know my rights and one of them has to be “Not getting eaten” not just for Thanksgiving but forever!

Thank you for accepting the facts

Sincerely,

Brunhillda Butterball III

Dear humans,

Pardon me! I dare you. You may be asking why? Well first of all I am one of the only turkeys that can talk and type sooo…. Also im 2 so i still have 8 to 12 years of my life to live. You would not like to eat me. You really shouldn't. I tastes disgusting! I am also a very small turkey so you wouldn't even get a decent sized meal. But you should eat my brothers. All the things I have told you about me are not true for them so you should eat  them in stead. :)

Thank you,

Berthat Pumpkin Gravy the 2nd

Bear president yes this is the turkey. I would like to say please do not eat me. I was the runt of the family and may  I add that my brother is 50 pounds. I'm 20 pounds  and I have no  meat on me when my brother on the other hand has 50 pounds of meat and some juicy fat. So please do not eat me, let me be pardoned and I will be a good boy on the farm.

# data[].attributes.body
Me as a big fat turkey have the same right to live as you other humans. I might look delicious when you put me in the oven. And when you stuff me but i still want to live. So try a burger or maybe a ham. But i am not going to be ripped apart tonight.

# data[].attributes.body
Dear Biden, and other people I should be pardoned because I'm goated on the sticks you should watch me i stream twitch.tv/clix I do not deserve to go out like this. I inspire millions of people, everyday I don't even taste good because I eat nothing except G fuel. I'm really skinny. Any family that picks is probably going to be very disappointed so please let me retire and join the gaming community as a pro.

Love, Ekveer

Dear mr. president and all the people that will be deciding my fate,

Today is that day where all my brothers and sisters go into hiding to be spared, I'm just a young little turkey and I'm pretty skinny if you ask me so take my brother and not me. My family and I have secretly  been feeding Timmy all of the food we can find so that you can have a nice juicy turkey not a skinny little one like yours truly. And don't feel bad that we're throwing Timmy under the bus because he is quite annoying so you would be doing us a favor. So please, TAKE TIMMY! ( here is a pic of him so you know who to eat.)

i should not be eaten because i still have most of my life ahead of me and

Dear president ,

How dare you try to eat me. Turkeys are not only smart they are also very cute. I however dont agree with you eating me or my friends. Yes i can be mean at times but they doesnt mean you eat me. I may be a thanksgiving tradition but you can always eat ham or some other animal. I dont deserve to be eaten i am a special turkey and if you eat me there will be no special turkey. Anyways you should get the point they i dont want to be eaten. When you poeple come and eat us we dont enjoy it makes me sad that you want to eat me. I really dont like to be eaten no turkey does how would you feel if you were me and i was you. You would agree with me. Turkeys arent just a living thing they have familys and a life so dont eat us. So if you would PARDON ME im going to run away so you dont eat me.

I’ll tell you some reasons why you shouldnt eat me
If you choose not to
That would really really please me

First of all, I would make a great pet
If I dont, then you could scratch that
But hear me out
I’m not that loud
If I do say so myself, I would make you very proud

Second of all 
I mean look at this face
Oh wait
You already areeee
You cant look away

Third of all 
I think I made it clear
Turkey’s like me 
We are very very fierce

So take my advice
Dont eat us
You might think twice
Or maybe
We would make you eat mice!

Ms. Turkey out

Dear, all the important men and women in this dining space, I am not worthy of making a delicious meal for the horrible slaughter fest known as thanksgiving, For I am not lean nor plump, I am not tender nor fatty like the others. Any of the other plump turkeys would make a far better meal than I. I will be dry and skinny. I would be firm and meatless, my legs would be small as a french fry.  I know a guy that’d be great for the job! He's plump, and fat, He's big and round, for he is the kind of turkey you are looking for. Your welcome.

Sincerely, your turkey

Dear President and other people who will listen to me,

I am standing here today because I am trying to plead for my life. It may not seem like a big deal to you humans, but it is for me. I might just seem like one tiny part of your usual Thanksgiving dinner, but I’m more than that. I am a young turkey that wants to live more days, see the end of life, without being eaten. I have a life just like you people. I say this with love but, YOU PEOPLE HAVE NO RESPECT FOR US TURKEYS!! I feel the need to say this not only for me but for my other turkey friends. We need to have rights just like you do. The fact that you humans eat us without even putting yourselves in our shoes is just so....ugh.  Before I get out of hand, please just remember that I have a life too and am worthy to live a life just like you, so please do everything in your power to save my life.

Thank you for listening and accepting these true facts

Sincerely,
Ms. Turkey

While I understand your infatuation with my species, I request that you pardon me from this Thanksgiving feast. I am aware that this may seem like a selfish request but I promise my reasoning is completely logical. The other turkeys at my farm are great guys, they really are, which is exactly why you should take them instead of me! Sadly, I am not the heaviest turkey on earth, I am quite skinny actually. I’m like a toy display model, it looks the prettiest but doesn’t, well…..work? The other turkeys are much heavier than I and would make a splendid meal. And what a shame it would be to eat a beauty like me! I can assure you that I am the most beautiful turkey, my feathers are the softest of any turkey in my farm (which is quite a lot of turkeys). Please, don’t let my beauty go to waste! Eat them instead!

Your friend,
Turkey

Ladies and gentlemen I am a turkey and I shouldn't be eaten because I am not delicious, I am gross and disgusting. I recommend you eat my sister who is so big that she would feed a group of 20 people and yes she is that good and tasty. Oh! I have another recommendation and it's my bigger brother. He can feed a group of 50 people and he is more tasty than my sister so you can choose if you want to eat my sister or brother but NOT me. Thank you very much and have a great Thanksgiving eating my family.

I came to court to set me free because turkeys around the world are being eaten on this day once a year. We should not be eaten. We should have pizza instead and spare us imagen if a tiger ate a human they would hunt the tiger down and kill it. And what if we hunted you down and killed you how would that not saying that we would do it. But you get the point and we have a whole life ahead of us. What if your life just gets thrown away that would suck if that happend to you.

Dear, Mr. President. I would like to make myself very clear when I say, I’m the worst turkey ever. I really am. I’m scrawny and small, who would ever want to eat a turkey that is small. I also have no, absolutely no nutritional value. I have never eaten anything remotely healthy once in my life. For the past 7 years , I have not eaten anything but garbage. In fact I’m pretty sure if you ate me you contract some disease. I am also old, no one likes old things, why would the president wish to eat an old man? Such as myself? We’re practically the same age. Isn’t that weird. I would also like to bring up the fact that turkeys suck. I mean, do people actually think we taste good? That's persosturus, we’re loud, and ugly, and sometimes some fat will stick to our muscles and the piece you eat will get this big chunk of fat on it, and then you’ll barf at thanksgiving, then you’ll have to go to bed early, and not watch the movie with the family, and cry yourself to sleep. So why, would you, the president ever wish to eat such an awful, awful turkey. So please, do the smart thing. And pardon me.

Your very scrawny friend,
the inedible turkey Gorge
