Turkey in Palin video auctioned on eBay

Remember the unfortunate turkey that was being slaughtered as a local Alaska TV station interviewed Governor Sarah Palin? It's now been sold on eBay for $225 .

The "historic" turkey was bestowed to the one lone bidder by Triple D Farm in Palmer, Alaska, where Palin had pardoned another lucky turkey earlier that day. After the ceremony, she discussed her plans for the Thanksgiving holiday while the unlucky turkey met its grim fate ( Graphic video warning: Click here to watch) .

The product description on the eBay page reads, "Contrary to what some may believe or have heard we butcher our turkeys in the most humane, fastest and efficient way possible...We also respect Governor Palin for supporting our small family farm. Fifty percent of the proceeds from this turkey's auction will be donated to our local Department of Veteran's Affairs in support of our troops."

The 37.75-pound turkey comes with a letter of authenticity signed by the farm's owner.
