She Can’t Go Cold Turkey
Why did Shawn Hubler bother to call People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals if she knew what its director of farmed animal campaigns would say about the turkey she bought online for Thanksgiving (“The Virtuous Turkey,” Nov. 20)? After being advised to spare the bird and have a meatless meal, she announces that “nobody’s going to tell me how to set my Thanksgiving table.”
So if PETA had told her to eat the turkey, would she have spared it the blade? Maybe not, since the reason she bought the “endangered” turkey in the first place was because “everyone who was anyone” did so last year.
