My first thought was (tongue in cheek) why did no one contact the Human Society (for UK readers: = RSPCA). But then I wondered, could those birds really pull that loaded wagon? I think not and that it is posed for effect. Farming readers might want to advise me on whether this is feasible or not.
BTW: visiting Western Michigan I drove past a large turkey farm several times. The stench was unbelievable. I thought that for the family living in the farm house they earned every penny they made by putting up with that appalling smell.
I showed this to my five year old……Can we get one of those Daddy?
