Yeah, Yellowville, Arkansas. It's beautiful. It's in the Ozarks and a really tiny town. And it happens to be in a part of the United States that has a lot of turkey processing. So they grow a lot of turkeys and they process a lot of turkeys there. And they've had this tradition for like 70 years. It's at this kind of fall festival that they have called the Turkey Trot.

Turkeys don't really fly. They can kind of catch the wind sometimes. So the turkeys you probably eat, like a butterball turkey at Thanksgiving, that turkey is not going to be able to fly at all. They are so big. They are so heavy. They might like flap a little bit, but it's, you know, it'd be like sticking two tiny wings on like a dishwasher, right? Like it's just not going to be able to fly at

Yes. And they're using generally sort of the heritage turkeys, so the dark feathered ones. If you're buying like a really nice Thanksgiving turkey, it might be one of these.

They're not going to fly long distances, right?

Oh, God. These people, they're like, I've seen them. And I'm like, Trust me, they're bad flyers. These are not hawks. These are not eagles. They're not sparrows. They're not pigeons. And, yeah, that was exactly it. So, anyway, in Yellville, so they throw the turkeys out of this, like, low-flying aircraft. They do this for literally decades. And some of the birds die immediately.
