Today, I found a wounded turkey in our backyard. I brought it inside, put it in a cage, and tended to its wounds. I then left. When I got back home, I smelled the wonderful aroma of my mother's cooking. She had prepared a turkey, the one I'd rescued. FML

Halloween

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

What kind of mom would just discover a turkey in a cage in her home and not think to ask anyone about it before slaughtering it for dinner? I don't understand

well, in my family there is no room for pet turkies and we know it. that would be the first thing any of us would do as hunters.

Maybe that turkey was your mother's to begin with, it just escaped your mother's torturous grasp, when you happened upon it.

Your mum rules

I love ham! I grew up near soon turkey coops, and I saw and heard some very disturbing things..... Nope, don't eat turkey.

Sounds like a win to me

It's never too early for thanksgiving!

OMG OP, that's horrible! Kind of like a Thanksgiving horror story. So sorry.

Definatly a win... Unless you were going to keep it as a pet? Who wouldnt want a pet turkey, huh?

I wouldn't want a pet turkey.

I agree with 49, that and turkeys are cool looking.

Everyone is calling the mom inconsiderate but op took a nasty bird into HER home! Birds are disgusting! It's gross that she cooked it, but he had no business taking a wild bird in her house. YDI!

Birds are no more disgusting than a cat or dog, or even people. Look at the shit some of our species live in.
