| In the Garden (Public Domain) |
Around this time of year, humans embark upon a genocidal mission against turkeys. When one bird decides to strike back, it’s trapped and banished.
Gerald the Turkey was deemed belligerent because he pecked at visitors of the Morcom Rose Garden in Oakland, California. One woman complained of a scar on her hand, due to Gerald’s irate behavior.
Yet if Gerald could talk, what would he say? Would he rise up and preach against the mass murder of his fine feathered friends? Would he compare notes with humans, then ask: Which species is really the most belligerent?
