WASHINGTON, UNITED STATES: US President George W. Bush (R) pardons Stars, the National Thanksgiving Turkey, in the Rose Garden at The White House 24 November 2003 in Washington, DC. The annual tradition spares the lucky turkey from being eaten at Thanksgiving and sends it instead to a petting zoo. Behind are Jim Stocam (L) and Tom Fix (C) who raised Stars. Bush also pardoned another turkey named Strips, not shown. AFP PHOTO/Luke FRAZZA (Photo credit should read LUKE FRAZZA/AFP/Getty Images)
