40 million turkeys will be consumed this Thursday.
187,000 turkeys have been euthanized so far this year in CA due to avian flu amongst the warehouses they are raised in. A lot more across the U.S.
Should a sick bird escape the screening for disease, avian flu in humans is 58% fatal.

Probably don't want to buy one from the local farmer w/o knowing.
