ABC aired A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving on Wednesday, and Peanuts fans noticed something a bit peculiar.
While the show seemed innocent enough when it was shown during childhood, adults tuning back into the program noticed that one character was committing a cannibalistic act.

In the special’s closing scene, Snoopy and his bird friend Woodstock sit down together to enjoy a Thanksgiving feast. However, that feast includes a turkey.
Fans were surprised to see Woodstock so calm and collected about eating a cooked bird for the holiday meal.
“You know you’re not a kid anymore when…watched A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving tonight,” viewer Michael Becker wrote. “Seeing Woodstock sit down to eat turkey with Snoopy and thinking to myself ‘cannibalism?’”

Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Special – at the end Snoopy and Woodstock eat turkey. Kudos to my son for noticing that a small bird eating turkey is a little weird.

Just watched a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and was (forgive me) a little creeped out watching Woodstock the Bird eating turkey.

Just watched A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, and for the first time noticed something that scared me. There’s something sinister I wished I didn’t see.

Woodstock, Snoopys bird friend, eats turkey at the end. Woodstock is a cannibal.
Wow.
