North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum paused from the normal business day on Monday to pardon a live turkey prior to the Thanksgiving Day celebration.
The annual event is sponsored in part by the North Dakota Turkey Federation. The state has nine turkey farms that produce around one million birds annually.
