“Choose and cut” becomes “choose and slaughter …”

Which one to get the ax?

Agriculture tourism has taken a new turn at the holiday season when the traditional expedition to the mountains has been to choose and cut your own Christmas tree.  Enterprising turkey farmers in North Carolina are now promoting the opportunity at Thanksgiving time where one chooses and slaughters their own turkey.

I wonder what will be the response of the other 2,643 turkeys when the first one is beheaded?
