A Turkey's Revenge

Thanksgiving Fodder

After a narrow escape from a wild turkey, a Sacremento news producer said, "I would not want to be the people living here."

The reporter, who was in the Arden area to investigate reports of turkeys chasing down joggers, soon found herself involved in a hot pursuit.

When she approached a wild turkey, it began to chase her, and chase her... And it just wouldn't let up.

Even as she screamed for the turkey to "Go away! Go away! Go awaaaay!", the fowl, undeterred, continued to follow her.

It was only when a mail truck pulled up next to her, slowing just enough for her to hop in, that the reporter narrowly escaped.

Turkey attacks proliferate YouTube. It seems the big birds are all about revenge this Thanksgiving, with celebrations taking place this past weekend in Canada and next month in the U.S.

Gobble, gobble.
