| Description | The animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is asking President Obama to skip the "archaic" annual tradition of pardoning a turkey.
"The White House turkey 'pardon' is a sorely outdated event. It makes light of the mass slaughter of some 46 million gentle, intelligent birds and portrays the United States' president as being in some sort of business partnership with the turkey-killing industry," PETA president Ingrid Newkirk wrote in a letter to the White House released Tuesday.
