Sarah Palin pardoned a turkey at a farm in Wasilla, Alaska, then conducted an interview afterward while turkeys were being slaughtered in the background.
WARNING: This video is graphic
Cameras rolled for Palin’s post-pardon interview as a worker at the Triple D Farm and Hatchery began processing turkeys behind her, stuffing them headfirst into the killing cone.
There seems to be a real disconnect in this country about where our food comes from. It doesn’t originate on the shelves at your local supermarket. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m a meat eater and consume it on a regular basis, however, I am acutely aware of where it comes from.
The media is, of course, having a heyday over the video and I expect a very strong reaction from the PETA wing nuts.

This is the killing cone method for slaughtering turkeys.
