Who are the real turkeys here?
These guys should be charged with being stupid, not with animal cruelty. They didn’t think word of this would get out? They didn’t ponder how it might look to the general public? Amazing…
(Lancaster) — The Lancaster County District Attorney’s office has charged a Manheim-based hunting club with animal cruelty. The Elstonville Sportsmen’s Association is accused of using live turkeys tied to hay bales as targets in an archery contest last September. The group is also charged with offering live animals as prizes in some contests. The officer who recommended the charges said it was the “most gutless act of cruelty” he’d ever seen.
