Turkeys Attacking Residents in New Jersey Town

The town of Hainesport, New Jersey is under attack, and it’s the wild turkey population that is on the prowl.

According to this Fox News report, there have been multiple reports of the wild turkeys, which appear to be gobblers in this video, attacking the town’s residents. One woman describes a bird charging her multiple times, dodging the orange safety cones she was hurling at the bird.

Officials are warning anyone that if they feed the turkeys, they will face a $2,000 fine, and they have promised to round up all the turkeys in the area and ship them to northern New Jersey. But, because of the summer food supply, they won’t be able to do that until the fall. And, we’re a little skeptical that they’ll be able to round up all the turkeys in southern Jersey anyway. The wild ones at least. –Brian McClintock
