Horror and a Joke I think a turkey's point of view about Thanksgiving is one of horror. First they get an arrow or bullet in their head and then their life is over. They must think it's pure torture. Now I have a joke: Why didn't the turkey cross the road? Answer: Because it's on someone's plate. Taylor Rebbe 10 Reasons Why Turkeys Hate Thanksgiving 10.

Boom, boom, boom, away he flew. We were saved. Bobby Morning Sky I'm Important I hate Thanksgiving because people shoot me and eat me. I like it because I'm important to people. Gunnar Carlson The Turkey That Ran Away Once upon a time there was a turkey.

He was going to be put in the oven because it was Thanksgiving! So he ran out of the oven and started running, the silverware started to chase the turkey! So then the turkey hid behind a tree and they didn't see him. Then the clouds said, "That turkey's always getting into trouble." At last the silverware spotted him. So they started to chase him again until he finally got out of breath. So he hid in a shed. But then the silverware went back to the house.

The silverware gave up. One day both were taking a walk. They spotted each other! It was war again! The clouds yelled down, "Fly away." So then he did that. The silverware never caught him. Emily Esham Shot, Plucked and Eaten I hate Thanksgiving.

My friends and family get shot, plucked and eaten. Soon, it will be me. It is not fun being a turkey. Daniel Bradley Why Me? Why did they have to pick me? Why didn't they pick something else under feathers? It sure gets hot in that box thing. Could they for at least two Thanksgivings give me a break? Maybe I'll hide next time so they'll have to use something else.

I hate humans because they kill us and eat us, me, my friends and native turkeys. Karlton Roark No Fair Hi, my name is Tamra Turkey. I hate Thanksgiving. Do you know why? I hate it because I always get chosen for dinner. I don't think it is fair to us.

All the people want to eat me but I run off because I don't think it's right to eat a big fat turkey just because they look nice and plump. You see, I don't want to die when someone kills me.

I want to live until I die. My best friend John was eaten last Thanksgiving. I think that if you eat a turkey, they should be able to eat you.

Kristina Soldani Turkeys' Thanksgiving It's just me. They had to choose.

All they want is to eat right then, right there. Casey Sticht Can't Understand Hi, my name is Terra Turkey and I hate Thanksgiving because when it's dinnertime people eat turkey.

I can't understand why you don't want to eat a duck or a peacock, but we turkeys don't like being eaten. How would you like it if you got eaten? It wouldn't be any fun. The other turkeys, including me, want to know if you can do something about it.

Turkey: Aaah, they got me. Man: Go get him, Harry. Let's go pluck the feathers. All done. Let's go stuff and cook him.

"We could have war," I said. "That's a great idea," said Cody. We told the other turkeys and they agreed, too. We got our guns and bombs and laid them down in the middle of the room. We told our friends, too.

The raccoons and the frogs agreed to help. That night everyone got out of their beds and got the weapons. We lit our torches. We marched toward the village. When we got there everyone was asleep so we set time bombs for 4 minutes and ran.

We got back to our hideout just in time. The whole village blew up. The next morning no one came to hunt and eat us. Justin Posey 7 Oh No "Oh no, it's that time of year again," said Patty, a turkey in the barnyard. "Thanksgiving!" I hate Thanksgiving" said Nick.

"Then what happened," asked the youngest turkey? "The farmer and his family ate her," said Jim. "I hope I don't get caught," said Carrie. "The farmer is coming! The farmer is coming!" said Nick.
