What? It is a ceremony that takes place in the White House. The president of
the United States is presented with a live domestic turkey, usually male, and is
granted a pardon so that it is not euthanized.
Why? It is so that it is not sacrificed and brought to the table. And so, the
turkey spends the rest of its days on a farm where it is cared for.
Which? In 1940, turkeys were generally slaughtered and eaten, until in 1970,
it became a practice to spare the turkey. During the presidency of George
Bush, it became a tradition, since then it is continued by all the presidents who
were successors to Bush, to "forgive" the turkey.
