Peach and Blosson, the National Thanksgiving Turkeys, are seen on the South Lawn of the White House before recieving a Presidential Pardon from US President Joe Biden in Washington, DC, on November 25, 2024. The sparing of the wattle adorned gobbling poultry became tradition in 1989 when US President George HW Bush said, "But let me assure you, and this fine tom turkey, that he will not end up on anyone's dinner table, not this guy -- he's granted a Presidential pardon as of right now" and every US President since then has continued the act of mercy.
