When and why did this begin?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This whole thing got started in 1947 when Harry Truman was president. And that has actually been a source of confusion. Bill Clinton in his 1997 pardoning ceremony proclaimed that Truman was the first to pardon a turkey. But that's not true. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.trumanlibrary.org/trivia/turkey.htm\">Truman Library issued a statement in 2003\u003c/a> saying:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"The Library's staff has found no documents, speeches, newspaper clippings, photographs, or other contemporary records in our holdings which refer to Truman pardoning a turkey that he received as a gift in 1947, or at any other time during his Presidency. ... Truman sometimes indicated to reporters that the turkeys he received were destined for the family dinner table.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>So, Truman was the \u003ca href=\"http://www.eatturkey.com/why-turkey/history\">first to \u003cem>receive\u003c/em>\u003c/a> a ceremonial turkey from the National Turkey Federation (and the Poultry and Egg National Board), but he ate it (as did Eisenhower). And that was the intention of the gift — to raise the profile of the bird and maintain its institutionalization as a Thanksgiving and Christmas staple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tradition of giving turkeys to the president goes much further back, though, than industry groups' involvement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From 1873 to 1913, a turkey dealer from Rhode Island named Horace Vose, known as the \"Poultry King,\" became the unofficial turkey provider to the White House for Thanksgiving and Christmas, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.whitehousehistory.org/pardoning-the-thanksgiving-turkey\">White House Historical Society\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1913, Vose got some competition from a former Kentucky congressman, who claimed his bird tasted better, because it was fed a diet of red peppers. After Vose died in 1913, it was something of a free-for-all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4.

In 2015, Courage had been reported dead by other outlets, but Disneyland, where the bird was sent, contacted NPR to let us know the fowl was still kicking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We reached out this year about \"Courage's\" status.

It becomes a time for the president to recall with the nation our blessings and celebrate the beginning of the holiday season.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6. Why do presidents pardon turkeys? Don't they eat turkey at Thanksgiving?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That irony may account for Obama's puzzlement. He also joked in 2014 that he was saving those turkeys from a \"terrible and delicious fate.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People are full of contradictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's clearly been difficult for politicians to say on camera that they would eat the bird presented to them, especially as America has grown away from an agricultural society and grown up with Disney movies heavy on the personification of animals. Americans are far more removed from the actual process of how their food makes its way to their table.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Your grandmother (1940s) would have killed her own and prepared it,\" Keith Williams of the turkey foundation noted. \"Since the 1950s, it became more convenient for families to have the dressed turkeys (all ready to cook), which they bought from the butcher or their grocery store. Few people actually hunt and dress their own food — we thankfully have the farmers who grow and deliver food to us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Side fact: The turkey federation actually provides dressed turkeys to presidents, too. Obama has donated his.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The turkey federation seems \u003cem>potentially\u003c/em> open to a return to the days when presidents ate the turkeys presented to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The pardoning was a recent custom begun with President George H.W. Bush,\" Williams noted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some traditions are hard to change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's something to think about after you walk through the grocery store, pick out that turkey — and sit down at the Thanksgiving dinner table.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2016 NPR.

When and why did this begin?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This whole thing got started in 1947 when Harry Truman was president. And that has actually been a source of confusion. Bill Clinton in his 1997 pardoning ceremony proclaimed that Truman was the first to pardon a turkey. But that's not true. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.trumanlibrary.org/trivia/turkey.htm\">Truman Library issued a statement in 2003\u003c/a> saying:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"The Library's staff has found no documents, speeches, newspaper clippings, photographs, or other contemporary records in our holdings which refer to Truman pardoning a turkey that he received as a gift in 1947, or at any other time during his Presidency. ... Truman sometimes indicated to reporters that the turkeys he received were destined for the family dinner table.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>So, Truman was the \u003ca href=\"http://www.eatturkey.com/why-turkey/history\">first to \u003cem>receive\u003c/em>\u003c/a> a ceremonial turkey from the National Turkey Federation (and the Poultry and Egg National Board), but he ate it (as did Eisenhower). And that was the intention of the gift — to raise the profile of the bird and maintain its institutionalization as a Thanksgiving and Christmas staple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tradition of giving turkeys to the president goes much further back, though, than industry groups' involvement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From 1873 to 1913, a turkey dealer from Rhode Island named Horace Vose, known as the \"Poultry King,\" became the unofficial turkey provider to the White House for Thanksgiving and Christmas, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.whitehousehistory.org/pardoning-the-thanksgiving-turkey\">White House Historical Society\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1913, Vose got some competition from a former Kentucky congressman, who claimed his bird tasted better, because it was fed a diet of red peppers. After Vose died in 1913, it was something of a free-for-all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4.

In 2015, Courage had been reported dead by other outlets, but Disneyland, where the bird was sent, contacted NPR to let us know the fowl was still kicking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We reached out this year about \"Courage's\" status. And, sadly, Disneyland confirmed that \"Courage\" has died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Courage passed earlier this year,\" Suzi Brown, a Disneyland spokeswoman, told NPR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Living six-plus years might be some kind of record set by Courage.

It becomes a time for the president to recall with the nation our blessings and celebrate the beginning of the holiday season.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6. Why do presidents pardon turkeys? Don't they eat turkey at Thanksgiving?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That irony may account for Obama's puzzlement. He also joked in 2014 that he was saving those turkeys from a \"terrible and delicious fate.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People are full of contradictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's clearly been difficult for politicians to say on camera that they would eat the bird presented to them, especially as America has grown away from an agricultural society and grown up with Disney movies heavy on the personification of animals. Americans are far more removed from the actual process of how their food makes its way to their table.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Your grandmother (1940s) would have killed her own and prepared it,\" Keith Williams of the turkey foundation noted. \"Since the 1950s, it became more convenient for families to have the dressed turkeys (all ready to cook), which they bought from the butcher or their grocery store. Few people actually hunt and dress their own food — we thankfully have the farmers who grow and deliver food to us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Side fact: The turkey federation actually provides dressed turkeys to presidents, too. Obama has donated his.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The turkey federation seems \u003cem>potentially\u003c/em> open to a return to the days when presidents ate the turkeys presented to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The pardoning was a recent custom begun with President George H.W. Bush,\" Williams noted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some traditions are hard to change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's something to think about after you walk through the grocery store, pick out that turkey — and sit down at the Thanksgiving dinner table.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2016 NPR.
