Victory: First-Ever Felony Charges of Cruelty to Factory-Farmed Birds


*peta2.com

Update: Following our investigation inside Aviagen Turkeys, Inc., 19 indictments for cruelty to animals against former employees have been filed. This is the first time in U.S. history that factory farm employees have faced felony cruelty-to-animals charges for abusing birds. Learn more on our blog and please take a moment to renew your call to Aviagen using the form below and demand they adopt PETA's seven-point animal welfare plan immediately.

Nearly 270 million turkeys are killed for food every year in the US. Last year, just prior to the flesh-focused Thanksgiving holiday, PETA conducted an undercover investigation lasting more than two months at the factory farms of Aviagen Turkeys, Inc., the self-proclaimed "world's leading poultry breeding company."
