Leave turkeys alone

As I was listening to the stories of complaints regarding invading South Hill turkeys, I realized how sad we as a human race have become. Instead of watching in the wonderment of it all, we are disgusted and downright angry at the mere inconvenience they pose to our ever busy lives.

To those who wish to “oil the un-hatched eggs ” in order to prevent future births, a word of warning. Man can stick his nose where it doesn’t belong one too many times, before Mother Nature turns around and bites back.

God help us all after that.
