I almost skipped mentioning the Presidential turkey pardon this year since it rarely varies except for the names of the primary and backup bird. But United Flight 197 reportedly carried two special first class passengers today. After a motorcade ride to Dulles, the turkeys were flown to California to their new home at Disneyland. In the past, the spared turkeys were sent to Frying Pan Park in Virginia to live out their days. These lucky birds will be grand marshals at Disney’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Then Marshmallow and Yam (yup, those are their names) will retire to the comfort of Santa’s Reindeer Ranch in Frontierland. PETA is taking some responsibility for the change of plans, claiming that the conditions at Frying Pan Park are less than ideal.
