SAN FRANCISCO, CA – NOVEMBER 06: Men dressed as secret service agents stand guard next to two Nicholas White turkeys that are presidential turkey candidates during a press conference at the InterContinental Hotel on November 6, 2015 in San Francisco, California. Two presidential turkey candidates, known as Tom 1 and Tom 2, are contending for the honor of being named the 2015 National Thanksgiving turkey and being pardoned by U.S. president Barack Obama during a pardoning ceremony at the White House before Thanksgiving.

The birds, from Foster Farms in Modesto, California, will board a flight called “Turkey One” in San Francisco to head to the White House ceremony with President Barack Obama ahead of the holiday. After that, they will be sent to live at a farm in Virginia, supposedly never to be killed for food for humans!
