Tyson
Foods has recalled
52,000 pounds of chicken wings after
people complained that the meat had an “off odor and made them sick. But the
sour smell isn’t the only thing that stinks about Tyson.

Since
July, Mercy For Animals has released three shocking undercover
investigations at Tyson poultry
facilities exposing horrific animal cruelty. Most recently, secret
video taken at a Tyson slaughterhouse revealed birds getting
their heads ripped off while they were still alive and chirping and birds
painfully shocked with electricity but fully conscious when their throats were
cut open. Workers were also caught violently punching,
throwing, and otherwise maliciously torturing birds. Tyson and six of its
slaughterhouse workers now face charges of 33 counts of criminal animal
cruelty.

MFA’s second
investigation at a Tyson factory farm—also a McDonald’s
Chicken McNuggets
supplier—resulted in criminal charges as well. The farm owners were convicted of criminal animal cruelty for stabbing chickens with spiked clubs,
standing on the birds’ heads and pulling their wings or bodies to break their
necks, and throwing live birds into buckets to suffer and slowly die. Thanks to
MFA’s exposé, the farm has permanently shut down.

Tyson’s concerning
pattern of animal abuse results from a lack of policy and oversight. That’s why TV legend Candice Bergen,
who narrated our latest investigation, and over 200,000 caring consumers are
petitioning Tyson to implement meaningful animal
welfare changes. Join them:
