Talk:Turkey found buried alive in an Austin, Texas yard

Reporting Notes

Sean McIntire is my friend and he found the turkey yesterday, I went to his house and followed him to the vet to get this unusuual story...

Conversation with sean after the incident, on the phone:

• Sean:- Hey, guess what, I just found a f*cking turkey buried in the ground
• Me:- A f*cking, like, a butterball turkey?
• Sean:- No, A live turkey
• Me:- What the f*ck
• Sean:- Wanna come over and see this sh*t?
• Me:- Yeah I will in a couple of hours when I finish dinner.

-Upon Arrival, standing in the front yard with sean and his dad:

• Mr Mcintire:- And he was right here, in this hole
• me:- did you find out who did it?
• Mr Mcintire:- never
• Sean:- were gonna go to the vet tonight, so if you wanna stay over, youve gotta find somewhere to be
• Me:- nah, im gonna write on this
• Sean:- what? ok... so you wanna go?
• Me:- yes

At the vet's:

• Rogers:- This turkey is dying
• Me:- So, what caused the death
• Rogers:- This trukey starved to death... The turkey must have been alive in the ground for at least 2 days, it takes at least that long for a turkey to -starve to death
• Me:- so who could have done this?
• Rogers:- The turkey is only 13 pounds, so pretty much anyone with a shovel
