PETA Releases Video From Turkey Farm
Published Thursday, November 20, 2008 at 05:13 AM
PETA says their investigator documented that workers tortured, mutilated, and maliciously killed turkeys. Employee actions include: stomping on turkeys’ heads; struck turkeys’ heads against metal scaffolding; and a supervisor, according to PETA, said he saw workers kill 450 turkeys with 2-by-4s.
PETA says its investigator repeatedly brought abuses to a supervisor's attention. The supervisor responded, - every once in a while, everybody gets agitated and has to kill a bird. PETA also brought the abuse to the attention of Aviagen, and although the company made assurances and instituted some new rules, the cruelty did not stop.
