should jackal spare poor hector?

Hector now (borrowed image):

Hector on 25th 12 07

he looks so sweet,and err juicy.no.no.no think nice thoughts

[Decadence]

Hector should think himself lucky that he was born at all...if people didn't eat turkey he would probably never have lived...

He's had a good run but sadly (for him) it is time to make the ultimate sacrifice in the name of Christmas!

Off with his head!

Just found out who Hector is from the rocketing turkeys thread. So, I would like to change my vote from Who? to yes, eat with relish (or cranberry, whichever).

And well done to Jackal for actually giving a turkey a decent life and quick end. It is, I think, rather sad that so many people know so little about their food and where it comes from etc etc. So on 25/12 I shall salute you Jackal and your animal friendly ways with a glass of something expensive.
Bon apetite!

Jackel, hope you're planning to give Hector a good stuffing!

[itsamac]

the fact that you have given the turkey a name, its probably better to keep it now that you are emotionally attached to it

[Singh400]

You do realise that the poll is multiple choice right?

[dognosh]

Asian or European Turkey ?
Firstly I said cook him, since that was Hector's sole purpose in life, he would have lived for nothing and life would have meant nothing if he went on to a ripe old age and died naturally.
2ndly what jackal has done is commendable, especially as his turkey probably ended up costing 4 or 5 times anyone elses
(putting Hector's life ahead of cost)
3rdly you should take hector on a tour of turkey farms so he can spread the good word to other turkeys
4thly If hector is spared then I suggest we make him AVF's Official Mascot (we would then need REAL pictures of him)

An ode to Hector:

Hector, beautiful bird that you are,

You knew that you could only go so far,

Eat and be merry with your corn,

But you'll know when you hear that horn,

Run, run, run away run,

For there comes the farmer with his gun, gun, gun,

But don't be so glum,

You'll soon be in his tum.

[T0MAT01]

Amen.

[Leej]

Jakal, what are you going to do if Hector dies before you do the deed?

.

Kill Henrietta (bird '08) instead.

[dognosh]

OMG he's named another turkey too

[Leej]

Henrietta

I was thinking, Defra and every news crew in the country camped at your place

[Junglist]

All creatures great and small have to die sometime. I think Hector should go out with some respect and get to bird heaven telling the others that he actually made it to xmas and wasn't killed off early due to the 'flu.

LeejBest not say anything about the lambs and bullocks then eh?

Revenge of the turkey

I feel like I'm amongst savages

Here a pic of me and Herbert (bird 06) getting intimate:

personally, I think Turkey on Christams day is dull.

save them and have a curry I say.

[moby125]

Do all your turkey's begin with the letter 'H', or is that as far as, you have got to, in the alphabet?

Does Henrietta live with Hector in his House?

Fair play too you for rearing your own livestock, enjoy Hector for many days after christmas!!

No, I've already been through ABCDEFG - E was a particularly tasty year.

Runnnn Hector

[city fan]

Save Hector

Though judging by Jackal's handle I don't think theres much chance

[city fan]

So Jackal, if we get enough votes to save Hector, will you spare him?

I'm off campaining in other forums to get him saved

[MrBlofeldt]

Think of it in terms of th Kronenburg 1664 advert, you come home and fin your wife in the bath with... not a lobster, but a turkey !

Now you should have no problem whatsoever chopping the little b******'s head off !
