Maybe they can get the Munchkinland Coroner to verify that it’s not only merely dead, it’s really most sincerely dead.

Otherwise, it could just be playin’...

Maybe they should just burn an effigy of a PETA supporter at midnight!!! Or explode one..... Lot’s of opportunity for humorous payback here.

If I had only known earlier. I had a few I could send them. Pristine condition other than the small hole in one side and the giant blowout on the other.

As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.

The town of Berlin, Maryland is dropping a stuffed muskrat and Chincoteague, VA has a lighted horseshoe.

Been there for this event about 7 years ago and a good time was had by all.
They lowered the possum and when it hit the ground the cage opened and the critter ran like hell.
Be loads more fun if you put a peta head person in the cage and gave the spectators a bunch of rotten veggies to heave at the ass when the cage opens and he or she runs like hell.
Just saying
