01438A62-E9DD-4136-88B3-4B93F8FFB569 WASHINGTON D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Each year, tbe President of the United States pardons a pair of turkeys, saving them them from ever being butchered and served for the American Thanksgiving Dinner.

Each year, some 46 million turkeys are killed.

Donald Trump is changing this presidential tradition. In addition to pardoning Wishbone and Drumstick (pictured), he has also signed an executive order pardoning an additional 4 million turkeys.

’Pardoning 2 turkeys won’t make any impact, so I’m going for 4 million instead. That’s about ten percent of all turkeys killed each year in America,’ Trump told The Adobo Chronicles.

San Francisco Activists Want To Ban Thanksgiving Dinners

SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – At about this time of year, the President of the United States pardons a couple of turkeys and saves them from being butchered for the traditional Thanksgiving dinner.

But leave it to San Francisco activists to do much, much more. They want to totally ban Thanksgiving dinners that feature turkeys and ham.

In a protest action at San Francisco’s Westfield Mall (of course, at the food court), the activists declared that turkeys (and pigs) are not food. “Eating them is violence,” they said.

But how about the other living creatures like chicken, cows and fish? Or flies and roaches? They, too, have rights.

SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – Like any other shopping mall elsewhere, Westfield Mall in downtown San Francisco has its focal point when putting up its holiday decoration for shoppers and tourists to enjoy.

For the mall, its focal point is the preserved dome from the old Emporium Department Store.

For this year’s holiday attraction, Westfield decided to hang a giant Christmas Tree from the top of the dome.

So off went the interior designers and construction workers to build the tree in time for its unveiling this Thanksgiving weekend — the start of the holiday shopping season.

But alas, when the tree was unveiled yesterday, something was terribly wrong. They hang the tree upside down!

Embarrassed, the mall management immediately ordered the construction crew to redo the work and to make sure the tree is hung upright this time around.
