Buying your bird frozen and wrapped from the grocery store is a very different experience from seeing the live turkey on the farm, then slaughtering, butchering, and cooking it yourself. As a meat eater, I found this act to be very important. Watching animals die is never easy but at LTD Farm in Clayton, Wisconsin, farmers like Khaiti Khaleck honor each turkey’s life, making sure it is calm when killed. Families are invited to help butcher their turkeys on the farm and learn more about the process. (via Video: Have You Ever Slaughtered Your Own Turkey? | Serious Eats)
