Lots of "I woulda stabbed that shit it the eye with my ski pole" comments. Grow up guys, it's an animal defending it's territory, no reason to hurt it unless you're feeling hungry. Kids need to at least be able to fight a turkey to get dinner in my house anyway.

[–]dactyif 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (3子コメント)

All these tough guy wannabes don't actually realize how absolutely mean a turkey can be, and how quickly you go on the defensive, not to mention the absolute lack of leverage of trying to poke something on your sides in snow and with skis on.

Turkeys are assholes, and this coming from a guy that has to deal with Canada Geese.

[–]AngloQuebecois 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (2子コメント)

You have to deal with Canadian Geese? I know WW2 vets that are scared of those.

[–]dactyif 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yep, I'm up north. They're notorious assholes they are.

Just a quick note, the plural is still Canada geese.

[–]rooktakesqueen 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Ugh... Jagged beaks, and the hissing. H.R. Giger has nothing on geese.

[–]Teddie1056 33 ポイント34 ポイント  (34子コメント)

And we are just animals protecting our young.

[–]AngloQuebecois 45 ポイント46 ポイント  (20子コメント)

It's poor parenting to show cruelty over restraint in front of a child. Also, I wouldn't deprive my kid of the battle and glorious feeling of victory at having escaped such a fight. Protect your kids too much and you're just taking away fun experiences from them. Was the bird about to peck through ski gear? really?

[–]Teddie1056 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (16子コメント)

What if that turkey pecks/slashes at the poor kids face. You don't have to murder the Turkey into 1000 pieces, but a swift counterattack isn't poor parenting.

[–]P0uncer 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (0子コメント)

First, I would've made sure my kid waited before galloping past the bird like a wounded gazelle.

[–]AngloQuebecois 21 ポイント22 ポイント  (11子コメント)

What does hurting the bird have to do with pulling it off the kid? That's just excessive force. If you think that the bird needed to be hurt in order to remove the threat from the kids face then fine but any attack on the bird here would have been unjustified and probably made the whole thing worse. Keep calm and act intelligently; always works out best.

I'm not so sure if you can calmly restrain an enraged turkey in every situation. As a child I played with the one my neighbor kept quite a bit - those things can be vicious from what I remember. (If the same ones live in the country this was taped in, at least. But same thing goes for any big bird, really - I had similar experiences with cocks or geese.) Maybe they're not as scary to an adult, but look what a swan can do to people, and that thing's beak looks quite strong.

How many eyes did you lose without your parents there to murder the turkey for you?

[–]genitaliban 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I had the advantage of shoes, so I was faster than them. (Barely.) On skis, that's a bit more of a problem in a panic situation.

[–]cyberslask 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

That is no turkey, but a capercaillie.

[–]sikktekkfukk 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

OR!!! How about we let the actual parents act how they see fit, instead of trying to make a one size fits all parenting guideline?

[–]Teddie1056 -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Okay... this is just what I would do. Feel free to raise your kids however you want.

[–]qubedView 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

True, but there are limits.

[–]strehlowism 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

How about his eyes? And that was cruelty?

[–]GingerSnapBiscuit 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

No, that response from the parents was ENTIRELY reasonable. Some people in the thread are taking a "OMG I would have killed that Turkey so hard" stance which is what we're disagreeing with here

[–]jrmunro11 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (5子コメント)

Yeah cause that kid was in serious danger, right?

[–]Ghotimonger 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Blindness would suck

[–]jrmunro11 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

The kid was fine. They pushed the bird away when it got close. You guys are ridiculous

[–]GingerSnapBiscuit -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Not as much as that dumbshit kid sucked at trying to ski though.

[–]Teddie1056 -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (1子コメント)

It looks like the bird is going after his face/eyes.

[–]jrmunro11 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

And was quickly pushed away...

[–]masterofthefork 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (5子コメント)

Looks to me like the kid survived...

[–]Teddie1056 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (2子コメント)

It's the adrenaline kicking in. The kid made it 15 steps at most tops.

[–]SporkDeprived 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah, that bird used "Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique". The kid is a goner.

[–]masterofthefork 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

RIP in peace

[–]DoctorSauce -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (1子コメント)

The point still stands.

[–]elessarjd -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Agreed. I'll be damned if I'm gonna let some bird jab it's beak in my kids eye. I wouldn't go to the extreme of stabbing or killing it, but I'd certainly forcefully move it away from my kid and then just have everyone move away from it.

[–]High_Five_Ghost_ -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Its crazy how many people forget that we are animals too

[–]graffiti81 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (6子コメント)

You've never been attacked by a turkey have you? I have (somebody hand raised one near me and then set it loose when it got too big and irritable to handle).

That turkey should be killed. It will hurt somebody badly, take out an eye, give them a horrible infection (spurs have all kinds of shit on them).

[–]cyberslask 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I have said it before but I'll say it again: that's no turkey but a capercaillie.

[–]graffiti81 -3 ポイント-2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Essentially the same bird. Slightly smaller, but no less aggressive, apparently.

[–]GingerSnapBiscuit 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Cats walk through their own litter boxes then scratch people, let's put down all cats.

[–]AngloQuebecois -3 ポイント-2 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I have been "attacked" by turkeys and porcupines, snakes, horses, cows and even chickens. Got trampled by a 800 lb pig and got a nasty cut on my leg from a croc last year. A shark once nibbled on my foot but worst of all I've had to routinely deal with ornery canadian geese. Oh, and I got a nasty cut from a 400 lb sea turtle once as I was hanging out with one after it laid it's eggs and a wave washed it back into me as we were heading out into surf. If you want to know what moment you start to thinking about counter attacking, it's when a monstrous sea turtle is heading towards you backed by the power of a costa rican wave with a sharp gaping open mouth that could take off an arm. I tripped on a log as I backed up and had to use my legs to push the log in between myself and the turtle. Of course, I wasn't about to hurt the turtle as it was really my fault I had put myself in such a stupid situation. Oh, I also cracked a rib running with the bulls in Pamplona (dumbest shit invented btw)

Frankly, anyone who has as much fear as you of a bird that weighs about 20lbs needs to go on a spirit journey alone in the woods for a couple days because, well, not sure how to politely say this but you're kind of a pussy.

[–]graffiti81 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

At no point did you talk about your child being attacked.

I certainly wasn't hurt by the turkey I'm talking about (neither was the jogger I witnessed attacked, my mom, my grandmother, or the Mini Cooper).

The woman who killed it did so because it had knocked her 5 year old to the ground once and tried to do it a second time.

She was well within her rights and I should have done it when I had the opportunity.

I have no problem with wildlife, but when it starts attacking people, it's time for that individual member of the species to die. Take your bleeding heart elsewhere.

[–]SteveRudzinski 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Sounds like you'd get hurt less if you started killing some of these animals that seem to always be gunning for you. Word seems to have spread that you won't hurt them.
