> Dear Mrs. Roger,
>
> A groundbreaking new undercover investigation by Mercy For Animals’ sister
> organization in Canada reveals horrific and systematic animal abuse at Hybrid
> Turkeys — the country’s largest turkey-breeding factory farm.
>
> During the investigation, a culture of extreme cruelty and neglect was
> revealed, including:
>
> Workers punching, throwing, kicking and beating turkeys
> Workers crushing the spines of turkeys, and bashing in their heads with metal
> rods and shovels
> Turkeys with open, pus-filled wounds, rotting eyes, and festering infections
> left to suffer without proper veterinary care
> Birds bred to grow so rapidly that they became crippled under their own weight
> After reviewing the undercover footage, Dr. Ian Duncan, professor emeritus at
> the University of Guelph, exclaimed: “It is not appropriate to kick, punch,
> or swing birds. This is gratuitous cruelty.” Unfortunately, the lives of
> turkeys in factory farms are short, brutal, and filled with fear, violence
> and prolonged suffering.
>
> Tragically, this type of extreme animal abuse is considered standard practice
> at turkey factory farms. MFA’s undercover investigations at multiple
> Butterball facilities in the United States have exposed workers viciously
> kicking and stomping on birds, dragging them by their fragile wings and
> necks, and maliciously throwing turkeys onto the ground or into transport
> trucks in full view of company management. Those MFA investigations led to
> criminal animal cruelty convictions of multiple workers.
>
> Please share this new investigation video with your friends, family and
> colleagues. And remember, every time we sit down to eat, we can choose
> compassion over cruelty. Adopting a diet free of meat, dairy and eggs is
> perhaps the single most important and powerful action you can take to prevent
> needless cruelty to animals.
