I’d like to know how someone missed the trough of blood when setting up this shot.
Exetremely amusing, especially since she was there to pardon a turkey
*Puts on hard hat and dives behind makeshift wall* Okay! I’m ready, btw i thought it was kinda funny, but i don’t have any sound here at work.
You have turkeys, you have blood tray, you have a shifty looking farmer, you have a great reason for Peta to hate you. GG. Is she for real?
That video was awesome. Disturbing, but awesome.
Nice… Having Turkeys killed in the backround makes for a great Interview spot
Those aren’t turkeys, they’re terrorists. This maverick is saving us all from their evil plot! Can’t you see that?! lol.
Did the interviewer actually use the phrase “chopping block”?
the more and more we see of her, the more and more we find out how much of a ding bat she really is. i guess blood and slaughter is common place for someone in Alaska that shoots stuff from helicopters… i don’t know *shrugs*.
omfg
LOL – wow, she needs new staff. nevermind, just move on to your true calling. Cable TV evangelist.
So much for a quick death…that poor turkey kicked for a good two minutes. They are delicious though.
Aww, poor turkeys.
This video makes me like Sarah Palin even more!
Lol. What’s her next stop? Interview outside of a slaughterhouse to show how cows get slaughtered to become the beef on your plate?
Jesus Christ. What the hell is wrong with this woman? “You know what would be a great spot for an interview? Right in front of a turkey slaughter. No way the media will jump on that!” And she wonders why people call her stupid.
It’s funny because there are tukeys in the background.
@DKLarry, there’s a turkey in the foreground too!
= ah this is interesting … I’m on tv so I’ll try to keep it clean
= wait … she’s still answering the question
= omg what a bore …
= shut up already
= f that I’m killing these turkey … and then it’s you missy …
I..i..i AHAHAHAHAHA, Scott that was a great find!
That is nuts! But I don’t blame Palin, I blame the interviewer/cameraman. Did they set it up like that on purpose??? I like turkey and I know they don’t grow on trees, but come on! Don’t do an interview in front of them being killed.
I’m thankful that I’m not a f**king turkey
What exactly does the turkey own that is being slaughtered? Scott! You’re a greengrocer! Who knew?
Oh, maaaaan! ROFLMAO!…..
You know, I really like Palin. That said, however, this is one of the things I find most odd about her; that is, she consistently keeps finding herself in situations that are highly likely to offend, shock, or just plain piss people off.
You go girl!
:-p
It’s a bleed trough you liberal pansy. The turkey is already dead;
nice size one too. I hope that’s the one that ends up in my belly (over the course of a week).
Here is a video of a pig bleeding out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpuCNqCbfjA
Now my Thanksgiving table is complete!
No, the turkey wasn’t already dead. Did you only watch the first minute?
OMG That is classic LOLOLOLOLOLOL – and did the guy behind Palin smile at the camera?? Classic!!!
mmmmmm Turkey is good, I have no problems seeing them killed, it’s the circle of life people life feeds on life. It’s nature and natural, to think other wise is to go against all that is nature.
You sure she set up the interview there, or that the interviewers approached her when she happened to be there?
Either way, the background is amusingly distracting.
What an idiot. Are you just going to let yourself by interviewed in front of anything that someone with a camera tells you to? Do you not have your own brain?
Day-ohm! We gotta get you as far away from anything having to do with politics as possible!
I don’t think it’s funny, I think it’s sad that she doesn’t even have the brains to think or have control over a situation as obvious as that.
“I have no problems seeing them killed, it’s the circle of life people life feeds on life. It’s nature and natural, to think other wise is to go against all that is nature.”
Come over here. I’m hungry. Don’t worry, I’ll bite… it’s natural after all.
The blame for this should be on the interviewer / cameraman, unless this was a pre-arranged staged event, then her staff (and Sarah) would be culpable.
It is humorous though. That farmer sure looks shifty.
its like u cant really focus on whatever palin’s saying xD must… watch… turkey….
*grammar nazi activate*
It’s turkeys, not turkeys.
I mean turkey’s-
Lets be serious here. The media set these things up to show what they want to show. Look at the way this shot was framed she is in the left of the shot not centered. The trough behind her is to the right of the frame so as to be clearly seen. positioning the camera two feet to the right and rotating it slightly would have had just the pen behind her and the viewer would be none the wiser. The so called situations she “finds” herself in are created by a media that has hated her from the moment she appeared on the scene. Since she is standing there doing her traditional govenor duty of turkey amnesty coffee in hand she most likely was just asked for an interview on the spot. Every camera operator I have ever known who works as a professional gets the shot they are looking for. This one did to.
@Rico
Yes, it was on purpose that they framed the shot like that. but honestly – who would want to conduct an interview at a slaughterhouse.
And Screw PETA – bunch of tree huggin’ left leaning dumba………………………. “wanders off mumbling to himself”
Where are the sociopaths when ya need them. She embarrasses the human species to no end. Granted she is not the ONLY stupid person alive, but damn how stupid can you be? Ugh… I cannot stand hearing about her dumb ass.
did she do all this stuff on purpose????
When a chickens neck is broken or severed it will continue to run for some time after, I’m assuming it’s the same with Turkeys. So during that ‘minute’ of struggle, the bird is likely very much dead.
Back before my time my Grandfather usd to kill chickens for an Indian neighbour in exchange for a strong curry. He did a nasty trick of quickly chopping the heads and immediately setting them upright, the chickens ran all over the Indian families back yard with blood splurting, and there was apparently much screaming from the wife and daughter.
this is so gonna make it into a SouthPark episode.
@Lazarus — Been there done that, they don’t really run around, since that requires a lot more coordination than random nerves firing can provide but they do tend to flop all over the place. Basically random nerve signals are sent and the the legs and wings and such will kick. The problem with Turkeys is they have a spur on their heel and will kick when they are flopping around and it can puncture and really mess you up. And yes this last for several minutes, it’s no uncommon for a person to several in a row so that by the time you are done killing the last one the first one has finally stopped flopping and it is possible for you to start cleaning it.
Even the dude doing the killing was a little surprised to be on camera.
You can sort of see the dude just off camera snapping the neck of the second one before putting it into the funnel. It may or may not be dead, but it makes for some questionable content.
Palin 2012! (that way Obama (or is it Clinton II) gets re-elected)

Neuroman, I hope you only eat grass or something, otherwise, you’re a moron.
Aargh…. bed wetting libs still avoiding reality. Soon to be in control of our Country? *shudder*
People – some of you are getting confused. I eat meat, I eat turkey, I eat fish, I eat a lot of things. I am completely aware of where all this food comes from as pretty much everyone here is I think. But to do an interview like this is (if it was all intended) is silly. What are they trying to prove?
Having been there when my dad was slaughtering chickens (and cows but thats another story and quite funny actually) there are 2 things you can do. First – Dad could calm them down by just stroking their head slowly for a min – then when the axe came down their nerves were not firing so frantically and you would not have to chase the headless chickens around. Also – you can just hold them for a second after you lobe off the head. until everything stops
Achievement Received: Friend or Fowl
We’ve killed a couple of Roosters here on the farm, the first was shooting blanks, and the second was attacking people. I only witnessed the first kill, I took him down to the house in a sack, and when he poked his head out someone snapped his neck with branch loppers, than we just closed the sack.
I had some morbid amusement when I went to ‘sack’ him, all the girls were perched facing towards me but he was facing the wall oblivious to his fate.
No one is watching that woman’s back. Now that she’s no longer running for office, she doesn’t have any handlers.
