Our crack news team ran a brief story this morning, featuring video from a recent NWTF turkey release in WI...here's the script they read over the video of turkeys taking flight:

THERE WAS NO INFORMATION THIS MORNING ON WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE.. OR *WHY* THEY'RE RELEASING TURKEYS INTO THE WILD.. BUT THE VIDEO CAUGHT OUR EYE.
DESPITE MOST PEOPLE'S IMPRESSIONS OF THE OFTEN-DELICIOUS BIRD.. TURKEYS ARE QUITE QUICK.. AND CAN SPRINT.. OR EVEN FLY FOR SHORT BURSTS.

No wonder they refused to cover the local NWTF banquets.

You would think a "news team" would ask the people there why. Suppose these were terrorist releasing birds with the "AVIAN FLU". Birds that are quick, and can sprint or Fly( even for short burst) could contaminate the whole country in days!!!! Did they ever figure this out, or are they notifiying Tom Ridge??

Don't give them any ideas Whiskers!
