Why do presidents only pardon white turkeys?

When you think about it, its a pretty bad message. I would like to see some hard up brown turkey pardoned just for being cool. How "Courage"ous can a white turkey be when they don't have to ever worry about being killed? Pardon the brown ones, they die all the time, they need it. Maybe there are pardoned brown turkeys that I don't know about?? Anyways I think its a dumb tradition and I'm making sure my Thanksgiving turkey is white next year.

Presidents pardon Domestic turkeys, which are white. Wild turkeys have brown feathers, but they aren't as easy to get a hold of as a Domestic one from a farm.

you have been drowsing too long. each and every President has performed that Thanksgiving custom of "pardoning a turkey." Get in touch with the White living house until eventually ultimately now next Thanksgiving so which you're first in line for pardon.

You got me thinking. What about the poor pig? Alot of people eat ham for Thanksgiving. The poor pig is never even mentioned. Shouldn't they pardon pigs in the White House, too? Oh. Wait. Never mind.

Never been to a commercial turkey farm, huh?

It's affirmative action in reverse.
