Scarpitti says he has never seen footage like this in his more than 15 years as a wildlife biologist. He showed it to some of his colleagues at the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife, he says, and they’ve never seen anything like it either.

“It’s not something that’s really ever been documented until today,” he says.

So called 'experts' are unprepared for our upcoming campaign of glorious liberation!

The wild turkeys are not satanic, but they're pretty tough!

The wild turkeys aren't satanic, but they are rough, tough and aggressive as hell! Watch out for them, especially if you have small children, babies and/or pets that you walk...watch out!!
