The annual tradition of pardoning a turkey, which started as a marketing gimmick in the 20th century, raises questions about ethics and the perception of animal life.
Reflecting on the symbolic act of pardoning a turkey, one wonders if it merely offers families a way to assuage guilt over eating other turkeys during Thanksgiving.
The pardoning of a turkey seems to generate a false sense of morality, as it contrasts sharply with the reality of 46 million turkeys being slaughtered each year for Thanksgiving.
Despite the historical significance of the turkey pardon, the absence of a real 'crime' for these birds reflects the absurdity of this tradition, often viewed through the lens of marketing.
