Tyson Caught Torturing Chickens, Again

Another undercover investigation—the third in three months—at a Tyson Foods facility has exposed sickening cruelty to chickens used for meat. The hidden-camera footage, captured by Animal Legal Defense Fund, shows workers carelessly dumping birds from transport trucks, breaking birds’ fragile bones, violently hanging live birds upside down in metal shackles, and ripping the heads off birds still conscious and able to feel pain.

Recent undercover investigations by Mercy For Animals have revealed similar horrific cruelties at Tyson, including workers and farm owners violently beating chickens to death with spiked metal clubs and leaving sick or injured birds to suffer and slowly die without food, water, or proper veterinary care. Our latest investigation exposed criminal animal abuse at a Tyson factory supplying chicken for McDonald’s.
