As most Americans prepare to shove turkeys into ovens today, a woman from Rehoboth, Mass., is trying to pay for her turkey’s surgery.
Lyndsey Medeiros and her husband adopted two turkeys from a Rhode Island farm. One was Jerry, a 3-year-old with cataracts.
The eye debilitation prevents Jerry from eating on his own and frolicking with his female counterpart, the Associated Press reports.
Medeiros placed a free ad on Craigslist seeking donations for the surgery. She estimated the procedure could cost as much as $2,600.
It’s a shame that this turkey is plagued with blurry vision, but Jerry should probably be thankful he’s not sitting on a dinner plate with celery stuffed up his bum.
