5. What exactly happens to Pardoned Turkeys?

I know they go to Disneyland to be honorary marshals of their Thanksgiving parade but what happens to them after that? Are they truly pardoned for life or sent back to the mix where they can be slaughtered later?

7. They will go to Disneyland!

Bush announced that the birds would be sent off to Disneyland in California to be the honorary grand marshals of a Thanksgiving Day Parade, just like their predecessors a year ago.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals urged Bush to send the pardoned turkeys to an animal sanctuary, where "they will get the exercise and socialization that they need to live longer, happier lives."

In return, the group offered Bush a feast of Tofu turkey, vegetarian stuffing and a vegan apple pie.
