[Video] Butterball Not So Appetizing After Abuse Video Surfaces

this makes me sick!

Can't someone do something about how things are done?

This is absolutly uncalled for! I can not believe that this is really happening! How sad that we have such cruel and heartless people working in these turkey farms or any animal enviornment! I want those people to pay for their actions!

I can't even describe how this crap makes me feel! Animals need to have rights and don't need to live that way!

These people are serial killers in the making and deserve to be in jail for a very long time ONLY to be let out to be sent to an insane asylum for the rest of their lives! Makes me SICK!

I feed this to my family every year. This makes me sick to my stomach. There is no reason the animals should have to go through that. Some of them look like they have diseases, I'm suprised America is not sick from this.

LMAO Its a Turkey that going to get killed so we can eat it. So they get kick around before their heads are chop off still taste like turkey.

While I enjoy eating meat, it upsets me to think of what these animals go through. If you're going to farm animals for meat at least treat them humanely while they're alive and kill them in a humane manner, there's no excuse for this kind of treatment.

I would feel sorry for them, but I EAT THEM!

Those people in North Carolina are sick. I saw a video of them hitting and kicking pigs, too. This is just sick. I'm never buying Butterball again!

When shopping for meat, I will not buy it with a broken bone, I can't eat it. I can't even cook it. I know they die to feed us. But, they deserve to be treated with kindness and killed in a way that offers no suffering. I'm very close to becoming a vegatarian.

The best way to stop this abuse is to go vegetarian. These factory farmed beings never see the light of day or get to enjoy any of their natural behaviors. If you insist on eating beef, poultry, and pork then at least try and only buy organic free range and or pasture raised animals. Can be more costly but you will have the peace of mind that you aren't adding to the cruelty imposed on these factory farms animals plus you are ingesting the hormones, antibiotics, disease that is inherrant to them raised inside.

i aggree, i always try to buy my meat from trader joes for this reason

These people that abuse animals are the lowest form of human beings….they are despicable!

The only way to stop the abuse of farm animals is stop eating them, Period! Even if they are treated half way decently, they are still slaughtered inhumanely and there lives are dreadful and cut short. It is not hard to be vegan and it is better for the animals and the world in general. If anyone wants great recipes, PCRM has a 21 Vegan jump start program that gives you a great way to get started.

I really have no problem with meat consumption, and I have no problem with vegan-ism or vegetarianism either.

My problem is that this garbage keeps happening and won't let up. I understand workers get desensitized and get bored and it can't be the most pleasant gig in the world but you know…go get another job. And as for the industries…grow a pair and enforce what you say you enforce.

And here is why:

1. We live on this planet but don't own it. We are temporary here. Something bigger than us (insert belief system or lack of one here) formed this far out ecosystem in which we are capable of enjoying a wide range of foods. Don't take it for granted, you won't always be here.

2. And less preachy, proven fact that poor living conditions affect meat quality. True there is the aspect of when carcasses go through processing when they have already died and their level of necrosis is below maximum to pass. My ex husband worked at the largest pig farm in Missouri…dead diseased bodies go through if the necrotic tissue is under max. But also, stressed animals (in addition to humane reasons) are not healthy, guaranteed.

3. Why is it ok to allow this? What sort of person needs to behave like this? How come you can get fired for sleeping on the job or stealing but damaging live merchandise doesn't count?

Definitely go vegetarian/vegan if that is what you want. And for those who don't want to do so, there are TONS of private ranches across the countryowned and operated by families who practice humane ranching, feed and care for animals properly, and many even deliver within a range or bring orders to local farmers' markets in the area. Whatever feels right for you, it's really necessary to stop purchase of products from companies as they are brought to light for animal abuse, so they can see a direct cause-and-effect. I would also like to see it easier to access meat sources from distribution plants…for example Lucerne distributes to Tom Thumb and Safeway, but where are the meat farms?
