Tell Tell Yellville, Arkansas to stop throwing turkeys from plane

Every October, the small town of Yellville,Arkansas has the Turkey Trot Festival in which turkeys are tossed from a small plane flying at about 600 to 700 feet. They also toss them off the town hall. roof. The city officials claim that they have no control over the Pilot. This is a small town of 4,000. They certainly know and could stop this cruel practice but fail to act. Turkeys do glide into trees but they were never meant to handle the height and wind sheer if being tossed from a plane.. Some of the birds die and others injured.. Please make polite but firm contact and demand that abusing an animal for fun must stop. 870-449-4676 This is the Chamber of Commerce and City Hall is 870-449-6581
