PETA released undercover footage of turkey-factory workers punching and stomping turkeys to death. PETA has an image problem, because their image-management is stupid, but they do important work.
Workers are seen smashing birds into loading cages like basketballs, stomping heads and breaking necks, apparently for fun, even pretending to rape one.
On the tape, one worker describes losing his temper at a tom who pecked him, marking its head with a pen so he could find it again, fetching a broomstick, ramming it down the bird’s gullet and holding it up in the air while shouting “Let this be a lesson to y’all” at the rest of the flock.
I hope the brutes are punished but it seems unlikely.
