California woman left with horrific injuries after being attacked by gang of wild turkeys
Mary Jo Kelly, a longtime resident of the Bay Area city, said she was out walking last Thursday when two of the birds attacked her from behind
A gang of wild turkeys ambushed a woman on her evening walk in Alameda – leaving her so badly bloodied she required stitches.
Mary Jo Kelly, 83, a longtime resident of the Bay Area city, said she was out walking last Thursday when two of the birds attacked her from behind.
“I went headfirst, and I broke my glasses. I hit the palm of my hand, my thumb. I bled in the nose,” Kelly told ABC 7.
The frightening encounter left Kelly with severe bruising across her face that remained visible a week later.
After escaping the attacking birds, Kelly called her husband, who rushed her to emergency. Doctors performed a CT scan and treated her injuries, including six stitches on her right hand.
The ordeal has left Kelly shaken and demanding action from city officials before someone else gets hurt.
She contacted the Alameda Police Department to file a report after the attack, but said officers told her they could not take one because the incident involved wildlife.
LOL.....Hell's Gobblers?
Sounds like her injuries were caused by the fall. Not by the Turkeys.
He should have had a Bumpus Hound with her.....They like turkey.
