Turkeys rescued by RSPCA

One dozen turkeys will go to a pet refuge rather than face the odds in a race to save one winner and send the rest to the Christmas dinner table.

A race they were due to take part in at a Greyhound track was cancelled following pressure by the RSPCA.

The RSPCA said the Gobble Cup stakes due to take place at Walthamstow dog track in north-east London - was cruel.

After the race, all twelve birds will retire in peace at the exotic pets refuge in Peakirk, north of Peterborough.
