PETA has tried pretty much everything to end the annual White House pardoning of Thanksgiving turkeys.
So, as summer turns to fall and plans begin for the presidential pardoning in November, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is turning to President Joe Biden’s roots and heart to end the practice.PETA President Ingrid Newkirk is suggesting in a letter on Wednesday to the White House that the president pick another holiday favorite, the humble potato, to pardon.
“Our suggestion is certainly not half-baked: At a time when the United Nations is calling for a global shift to take the meat out of the old ‘meat-and-potatoes’ diet so as to combat the worst effects of climate change and other forms of environmental damage, it makes sense to support America’s heroes: potato farmers,” she added.
PETA seized on the holiday because the presidential pardon birds were identified this week. Minnesota-based Jennie-O Turkey Store, a subsidiary of Hormel Foods, plans to send the two birds to the White House for the pardoning. The firm said the birds were hatched last month.
