Controversial animal rights group PETA has asked the town of Turkey, Texas, to change its name to 'Tofurky' for Thanksgiving.
A letter was sent to Turkey Mayor Pat Carson on Monday that urges him to change the name of the town in time for Thanksgiving.
"What do I think of changing the name of Turkey to tofu? I think it's about the stupidest thing I've ever heard," said Tommy Sims, who does business regularly in Turkey.
The letter claims that turkeys suffer virtually every day of their lives while eating Tofurky comes without the suffering of the turkeys. PETA says it will treat the entire city to a vegan holiday feast if the name is changed.
Residents Pronews 7 spoke with were not happy about the entire ordeal. More + video...
