Our first undercover investigation inside a chicken hatchery in Mexico found deplorable conditions for birds. The facility hatches up to 100,000 chicks each day for the chicken meat industry. Because injured, deformed, and small chicks are deemed useless by the industry, thousands are tossed away like garbage—left to suffocate inside plastic bags.
Our video footage is narrated by Mexican actress, singer, and comedian Stephanie Gerard. Media outlets La Verdad Noticias and Telediario covered the investigation.
We are calling on Mexico’s secretary of agriculture and rural development to champion regulations that protect animals from extreme cruelty in farms, hatcheries, and slaughterhouses.
