Tyson Caught Torturing Chickens, Again

Ari Solomon September 15, 2015
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.
Watch the
shocking undercover video here:
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.

latest Tyson investigation here:
As the
world’s largest meat producer, Tyson has both the power and the responsibility
to end the worst forms of animal abuse in its supply chain.
