Seems like it fizzled
"As trucks came and went from West Liberty Foods on Wednesday afternoon, about 20 people braved the wind with the purpose of saving turkeys from being slaughtered for food.
"This is really an issue that all Iowans should be paying attention to," Joy Wilde, who led the protest as a concerned citizen, said. Wilde is involved with the animal-rights group the Des Moines Animal Allies.
Among those protesting was 15-year-old Ben Ahlrichs, who said he felt a need to get involved about a year ago.
"Animals are here with us, not for us," Ahlrichs said. "There are individuals rather than objects. And I just thought if I could do something about it, why wouldn't I?"
Wilde said while the protest might seem over-the-top to some, it is necessary."
