46 million avian consciousnesses get snuffed out for this day. I’m not going to get into a discussion of vegetarianism, or the meat production industry. But the turkeys aren’t happy, and I’m not happy for them.

Besides, it’s like calling your birthday ‘cake day’, or calling Christmas ‘presents day’. 

So just stick to “happy thanksgiving”, please, and I’ll wish the same back to you.
