while i agree that it is wrong, i cant put my finger on why exactly.
killing a captive turkey and butchering it is legal. and shooting a wild turkey is legal. so why is shooting a captive turkey wrong? how is shooting with a bow any different than killing one the old fasion way on a farm? and why does that not apply to hunting?
dont get me wrong, i dont agree with this, and think it was a really stupid thing, but it makes me think is all
there is a more humane way to kill a domestic turkey. like chopping its head off. why shoot it with arrows when you can kill it instantly? i think that is the problem. unfortunately with wild turkeys you can't catch them and chop their head off.
