People Are Upset About This ‘Cannibal’ Scene In ‘A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving’

There have been several controversies swirling about A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and other holiday specials lately. First, Apple purchased the rights to the Charlie Brown specials and made them unavailable on cable. Then, they made a deal so it could go on PBS. Now, people are watching and remembering this “cannibal” scene.

In one scene, Snoopy begins to cut the turkey and hand out slices to everyone at the table. He hands a plate to his beloved friend Woodstock, who is a little yellow bird. As Woodstock eats the turkey, it leaves some questioning… did a bird just eat another bird?

Is Woodstock a cannibal?

Many viewers ran to social media to discuss whether or not this makes sweet little Woodstock a cannibal. One user wrote, “Watched ‘A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving‘ on PBS Last night, at the closing scene Snoopy and Woodstock ate Turkey and realized Woodstock is eating another bird and OMG Woodstock is a cannibal ……..LOL”
