McCartney says skip the turkey on Thanksgiving
AFP - Former Beatle Paul McCartney, a long-time vegetarian, has joined a campaign by animal rights group PETA to encourage Americans to celebrate a turkey-free Thanksgiving this week.
The British rock legend, sporting a gray shirt with an "eat no turkey" design, is featured on the website of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
"This Thanksgiving, Paul McCartney is urging you to say 'no, thanks' to turkey and 'yes' to a delicious, cruelty-free holiday meal," the group says.
More than 45 million turkeys will make their way onto American dinner tables on Thursday, and another 22 million are consumed at Christmas, according to PETA.
Each year, US presidents grant a pardon to one or two turkeys -- a tradition that only dates back to president George Bush in 1989, even though Thanksgiving was first celebrated by pilgrims who fled religious persecution in England.

I wish I could be President just to have Paul and about 80 PETA people. When it comes time to pardon the turkey chop the head right off the thing and let the body run around the lawn.
Hey Paul shove your tofu. I ordered 3 turkeys and a prime rib. Big family and any strays they might show up with so I,m prepared.
Vegetables? Plants? Grains? . . . That’s what food eats.
Sir McCartney can KMA!
MFO
“vegetarian” old Indian word for Bad Shot.
McCartney could eat dog turds for Thanksgiving for all I care. Just another washed up has been seeking a public forum to spew his stupidity to his adoring witless fans.
Maybe I'm not amazed!
Paul McCartney? Wasn’t he in a band called Wings? Don’t turkeys have wings? There’s something vewy screwy going on around here.
Shut up and go away. No one asked you, no one cares..
Aw heck, just dive in and get the Turducken.
Stay out of our country creep and keep your idiot opinions to yourself.
Shut up and go away. No one asked you, no one cares..
Let’s boycott those Beatles and the British Invasion! I’ll never again listen to Billy J. Kramer!
Just for fun - did you ever get one of those emails about sticking a small Cornish Hen inside your turkey? Somebody once (supposedly) did that to his mother in law and then carried on about how the poor turkey was pregnant and they had killed a pregnant turkey.
My wife, one daughter and I will be choosing a vegetarian option for Thanksgiving. My other daughter will be grilling a filet mignon (not a fan of turkey). Other than that, it will be a traditional Thanksgiving; family, fellowship and gratitude for what God has provided.
Macca is so Yesterday, Nowhere, Man. He oughta live and let those turkeys die, and apologize to Uncle Albert whom he caused so much pain! Say, is he still married to that one legged screeching Japanese “artist” whom he stole from Eric God Clapner?
Whoops! Too late. Had a 20-pounder yesterday.
what an asshole....this from a bama voter.....get out Paul....we can skip YOU for Thanksgiving.....you defame the Beatles memories....Go Beach Boys
