there is probably a law about them being gamebirds or something.

In my state it is illegal to kill a turkey, outside of designated hunting season w/ license in designated hunting areas.

So if you go to the state park with an orange vest with a gun in November, you're good to kill them. But if you say, beat one to death on your lawn in March, you will get written up on charges and probably face fines and jail time. Both cases, cooking and eating is irrelevant.

Wild turkeys. I really doubt turkey farms are effectively outlawed in your state.

But what if it's your domestic turkey you raised from an egg and fed all its life on your farm?

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

depends on the local laws. if you are a legally on a farm, maybe ti's fine. if it's your pet, it's animal abuse.

if i killed and ate my dog I'd get arrested.

So people with backyard chickens aren't allowed to eat them in your country?

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 0 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

No. They aren't. You can only keep them for eggs in some places.

It's also not a national thing. The laws are my city/town/county. Some places they are banned entirely from being kept. Others have very strict regulations about how they can be kept and what they can be used for.

Only in rural areas can you just do whatever.

"No. They aren't. You can only keep them for eggs in some places."

I call bullshit.

There is no U.S. state where it is illegal to kill your own chickens or where you are restricted solely to keeping them for eggs. While California has strict humane slaughter laws ( California Humane Slaughter Act) and various localities have zoning restrictions, home slaughter for personal consumption is generally legal throughout the United States, provided it is done humanely
