Joe Biden pardoned the turkeys Peaches and Blossom in view of Thanksgiving.

Peaches 19 kg and Blossom 18 kg, are officially the world’s luckiest since they got a pardon from him and will not end up at the festive table on Thanksgiving. U.S. outgoing president, Joe Biden, in keeping with the US tradition, pardoned the two turkeys marking the official start of this festive period in Washington which is also the last on his presidency. The names of the 2 animals refer to the peach blossom (Peach Blossom), a symbol of Delaware, the state represented by Joe Biden as a senator for 36 years. Peach weighing 19 kg has “innocent” to see the Northern Light, while Blossom weighing 18 kg likes to watch boxing, Joe Biden said jokingly during the presentation of turkeys.

Peach and Blossom were saved from slaughter as on Thanksgiving Thursday, millions of turkeys are expected to be cooked and served with sauce and a variety of accompanying dishes – from potatoes to beans. The custom of granting grace to turkey dates back to 1947 on presidency Harry Truman. However, it became an institution in 1989, during the elder’s George Bush presidency.
