News article discusses the hazards of working in a meat-processing plant:
One year ago, a sanitation worker
at a meat-processing plant in Missouri lost both his hands in a work-related
accident. Two months later, a worker amputated part of his right thumb while
running flat steaks over a skinner in an Amarillo, Texas factory.
Tyson Foods, America’s largest meat producer, processes 35
million chickens, 400,000 pigs, and 128,000 cows every week. On average,
one employee a month is injured by equipment and loses a finger or limb.
Working at high speeds to meet demand and using sharp equipment like skinners,
band saws, wind saws, and hide grippers is a recipe for disaster.

The conditions on Tyson factory farms are not only dangerous
for humans but also brutal for animals. MFA’s multiple undercover investigations at Tyson chicken farms show thousands of birds living in
deplorable conditions and many being thrown around and beaten.
