Turkey Simon Williams told us, “I voted ‘No’, as did every turkey I know. It was the only real choice available to us.”
“I realise that everyone is demanding a traditional Christmas, but frankly I wasn’t willing to put my neck on the chopping block just because you all said so.”
“It’s time for us to look after ourselves and though Christmas sounds great to everyone outside the turkey community, when you’re on the inside looking at what is actually being asked of us, it really doesn’t seem so great.”
“A lot of people think we’re being selfish and refusing to do our bit, but that’s simply not the case. We’re just not willing to sacrifice ourselves for you.”

“But if not, then we might not be able have a Christmas in the way we have Christmas now, but it will be our own celebration that we can manage and look after ourselves.”
“What could possibly go wrong?
