“Consider a turkey that is fed every day. Every single feeding will firm up the bird’s belief that it is the general rule of life to be fed every day by friendly members of the human race “looking out for its best interest,” as a politician would say. On the afternoon of the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, something unexpected will happen to the turkey. It will incur a revision of belief.”
“The turkey problem can be generalized to any situation where the same hand that feeds you can be the one that wrings your neck.”

And that is why you search out your own food and never take hand outs from anyone.
