Support Your Local Neighborhood Turkey
So let’s pass on talking about another down day on Wall Street for some lighter news. It seems that Boston’s growing turkey population is really getting ahead in life.
After completing some undergrad work at MIT this spring, it seems the intelligent-yet-delicious birds have now begun pursuing their MBAs at nearby Harvard.
While most at HBS have greeted the new arrivals with open arms, there has been some resistance, including an anti-turkey Facebook group that must be invisible to non-HBS students because I can’t seem to find it.
It’s nothing, of course, compared to the uproar that struck when turkeys attempted to roost in nearby Brookline; the hate speech in that incident culminated in unfounded accusations of attempted murder.
So while Brookline may be Boston’s premier family-friendly neighborhood, do you really want your children growing up in an environment of anti-avian intolerance? Sure, the turkeys may not share your secular humanist views, but they bring much-needed diversity to the region in the forms of white meat, dark meat, and giblets.
So show your kids these birds aren’t just something that ends up on your kitchen table every November, and check out a home in Cambridge. And if you learn to grow to enjoy the presence of turkeys in your neighborhood, remember that there are far better business schools out there than Harvard.
