In Arkansas, an annual Turkey Trot festival sparks controversy.

Live turkeys dropped from an airplane Saturday morning to mark the event in Yellville. Not everyone in Yellville, Arkansas, though, thought the Turkey Trot turkey drop was the best idea.

"I believe it's inhumane. I think maybe they should be dropped out of a plane," said Yellvelle resident Bobby Wilson.

However others were quick to defend the tradition.

"Turkeys can fly so they just glide down to the ground so I think it's alright," attendee Debra Brown said.
