In a cherished annual event at the White House, President Biden pardoned two Minnesota-raised turkeys, named Peach and Blossom, in a festive ceremony ahead of Thanksgiving. This ceremonial pardon, which continues the custom of previous administrations, aims to highlight the spirit of the holiday while raising awareness around the turkey farming industry. While some animal rights advocates, including PETA, have criticized the tradition as wretched, the event remains a beloved part of American culture. Citizens can catch the live proceedings as the turkeys receive their reprieve, marking yet another chapter in the long history of presidential turkey pardons.
