an invisible Genocide

On a certain day out of the year genocide is performed all over the world. It is a certain holiday of sorts but genocide for a common strand of the species Meleagris gallopavo. I am speaking of Thanks Giving. Thanks’s giving was originally created when pilgrims came to the New World and began constructing villages. It is said that the tradition of eating a turkey on Thank’s giving day is tradition that dates back farther than the country was founded. In more recent years forty five million turkeys are produced and killed each year for a specific day; Thanks giving. The term produced makes the Meleagris gallopavo sound like items but really they are living organisms just as humans are. Genocide is the mass killing of a cultural group and turkeys are a cultural group because they support a culture of people who eat them in celebration, meaning that turkeys too belong to the culture because they are built into a tradition.
