Wild turkeys are attacking people on the streets of Boston

Luckily, I heard a report on NPR from the Brookline animal control officer, saying what to do. DON'T: run. The turkey will only swiftly pursue you. DO: hit the turkey with your purse (if you have one). Just don't hit the turkey hard enough to kill it because it is a protected species, he said.

Hope this helps someone out there.

Sarah, did you ever see the Errol Morris documentary Vernon, Florida? I can't remember.

Anyway, this post reminded me of the turkey hunter.

There are a bunch of wild turkeys that inhabit the grounds of the South Beach Psychiatric Center on Staten Island. We do stories on them just about every year, around Thanksgiving.
