My neighbor tried to raise some turkeys for Christmas. Those were bred to grow really quickly but his timing was off. They have to be slaughtered within a small window before they get too fat and their hearts give out. He had to do an early Christmas.

That's a pretty miserable existence for turkeys
It's pretty common for animals in the meat industry. A broiler chicken goes from hatching to supermarket in 6 weeks. That's what's being called efficiency these days.
I worked at a broiler farm one summer. 35 days is the time from when they arrive to when they leave to get slaughtered.
A lot of people live this way too. They just keep working and getting fatter until they die of a heart attack at 60
Lmfao fair point
You're supposed to change their feed when they get to the desired size.
Fun fact : The wolf either references Turkish fascism or ancient furry porn OR the other, less popular ancient furry porn.

I want to be eaten. Nobody's doing anything about that.
As a vegetarian who mostly eats vegan, why is it that I find PETA so annoying?
Without looking into it further, I'm gonna guess the same reason I find a lot of people I agree with on a number of issues so insufferable: holier-than-thou, self-congratulatory, moral crusading.
Just existing and being willing to answer people's questions genuinely is way more effective. I literally never bring it up, people only find out by happenstance and often ask about it themselves. If they don't, it's not that interesting (in my opinion).
Anecdotally, anyway.
I mean, people who you believe to be morally right can still be irritating idiots. I'm not a vegan, but I get it. I have friends who are, I don't say no to a vegan meal (unless there's corn in it because that gives me an unpleasant time on the toilet). I do think PETA is fighting for something they believe in, and I think that's admirable. I also think they're annoying.
Their tactics can be annoying and ridiculous, but I think that any honest assessment of why people generally find them annoying would admit that it’s people being reactionary. The whole “How do you know someone’s a vegan? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you” is almost the exact opposite in reality: people can’t shut up about NOT being vegan.
As a vegetarian who mostly eats vegan, why is it that I find PETA so annoying?
Because they are terrorists.
They fund other terrorists
They kidnap and kill animals from loving homes.
they "adopt" animals and immediately euthanize them.
Often dumping the bodies from both into random dumpsters, when their enormous corpse freezer is full.
They love putting naked women on display in cages and various other clearly fetishistic scenes.
They are a group of extremists who do nothing but harm animal rights by their sheer existence and association with the subject.
Genuinely shocked that no one drew a picture of a turkey with legs spread saying "I want to be eaten, Daddy" in reply to this.

If don't want to be eaten, why delicious?
My girlfriend is sometimes a turkey and she loves to be eaten. She asks to be eaten. Sometimes, when she's really in need, she begs for me you eat her. I have no idea what the original post was talking about
the greeks are here
I'm sure there's a turkey furry out there with a vore fetish.
Yo! Grey wolves = fascist, don't repost that shit
Wtf are you on about? They don't get to decide what symbols belong to them. Ok 👌? 🐸 Fuck Nazi's appropriating culture for themselves. Iirc the style of this comment indicates their membership in THE PACK AAYROOOO
Are not grey wolves a cultural symbol related to an old turkish tale? Does not look facist to me.
I'm not letting some obscure group of fucking Turks claim a goddamn emoji as their own and stop using it myself. Same with Pepe, a 🐸 emoji, or 👌. They already have the swastika and a bunch of others from the ACTUAL Nazis, let them use those instead.
You‘re getting downvoted but I agree with you. The joke in the image is funny, but the presence of these grey wolve emojis suggests affiliation with the Grey Wolves which are fascist. No debating that, I don’t get the other comments here.
No they are not right. I can't know the political views of someone in some shitpost, but the original grey wolf symbolim comes from Turkic mythology, which is today being co-opted by racist fucks. It still gets used ironically to make fun of those fucks (just like posting Musk's Nazi salute doesn't automatically make you a nazi if you are making fun of him).
In addition, some people want to reclaim the symbolism, because it's ancient mythology, why would we leave it to them, right?
