A new article
in USA Today highlights the latest
undercover investigation into Tyson Foods, this time at a facility in Virginia.
Recorded by animal protection group Compassion Over Killing, hidden-camera
video exposes workers punching and kicking live birds. The footage also shows these
gentle animals being run over by forklifts and enduring other extreme abuses.
After suffocating a baby bird by stepping on his head, a supervisor is
heard saying, “You can’t let nobody see that.
This is the fifth undercover investigation into America’s
largest meat producer in just over a year. Time and again, hidden cameras have
revealed Tyson’s culture of blatant animal cruelty.
Just this past May, Mercy For Animals released footage from
its fourth undercover investigation at a Tyson facility. Shot in Tennessee, the
video shows thousands of birds suffering untreated injuries, illnesses, and
crippling leg deformities.
See for yourself.
It’s high time Tyson stopped torturing animals and spouting
tiresome PR nonsense. Encourage Tyson to adopt meaningful animal welfare
reforms by signing our petition

other animals abused by the meat industry is to stop eating them. Click here to order our FREE Vegetarian Starter Guide.
