I did not know this, wild turkeys were almost extinct in those days.

What a rabbit-hole! Behold the architects of the current-day DNC, declaring genocide on farm animals whose value was deemed unprofitable:

During the early years of the Depression, livestock prices dropped disastrously. Officials with the New Deal believed prices were down because farmers were still producing too many commodities like hogs and cotton. The solution proposed in the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933 was to reduce the supply.

So, in the late spring of 1933, the federal government carried out "emergency livestock reductions." In Nebraska, the government bought about 470,000 cattle and 438,000 pigs. Nationwide, six million hogs were purchased from desperate farmers. In the South, one million farmers were paid to plow under 10.4 million acres of cotton.

The hogs and cattle were simply killed. In Nebraska, thousands were shot and buried in deep pits. Farmers hated to sell their herds, but they had no choice. The federal buy-out saved many farmers from bankruptcy, and AAA payments became the chief source of income for many that year.

It was a bitter pill for farmers to swallow. They had worked hard to raise those crops and livestock, and they absolutely hated to see them killed and the meat go to waste. Critics charged that the AAA was pushing a "policy of scarcity," killing little pigs simply to increase prices when many people were going hungry.

Agriculture Secretary Henry A. Wallace said that since there was too little demand for pork products, farmers couldn't run an "old folks home for hogs and keep them around indefinitely as pets."

They weren't "adjusting" anything! They were destroying crops and innocent animals at a time when people were starving.
