ForestLogic 04/17/17 11:45:42 PM #11:	So Wal-mart management is okay with the various other beasts that wander in and shop there, but a fucking turkey is where they draw the line, lol. I don't understand what they wanted him to do. Tackle it? If he goes to find a manager, by the time they get there it'll probably be long gone. Also, I feel it's important to remember IT'S A TURKEY. It's borderline harmless. I've seen them in our family's yard. They run away from you 99% of the time.
