An animal rights group has released graphic video that appears to show the mistreatment of chickens by Tyson Foods employees in Virginia, leading to at least two Animal Control investigations.
Compassion Over Killing, a Washington-based animal-advocacy organization, said the video was taken by an undercover investigator for the group in May and June at four facilities where Tyson employees process chickens. The video depicts Tyson employees throwing, punching and kicking chickens as well as sticking plastic rods through their beaks in a process known as “boning.”
Workers also wrung birds’ necks, ran over them with forklifts and left injured birds in “dead piles,” as the video’s narrator put it, to die.
I can't watch that. My backyard chickens were some of the spunkiest, cutest, most helpful critters ever.
Gave me eggs every day, ate bugs, even their poop was beneficial, because you don't have to compost it before it goes in the garden.
My favorite was named Nugget. She was a cream legbar who laid blue eggs. Relatively rare here in the US.
I still eat meat, but dammit, can't we be humane ? Can't they have just one bad day?
People make me sick. It's either kids, or animals, or old people, or drugged women.... ( facepalm )
I'm vegan for a reason...
Eating more lightly on the earth is good for survival...of all beings
And good for being a survivalist...it's easy for me to store two years of food... Meat eaters have to eat chemicals to store two years of food
Yum...think all those chemicals released into the organs by an abused animal don't end up in you meat eaters... Yes they do
Go vegan... Hunt terrorists not animals
