This clip is a culmination of a five-year undercover investigation by PETA India (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) of the abuse and horrible conditions endured by the birds and the potential impact on human health. New chicks are debeaked just to prevent them from harming or killing each other. Debeaking is a painful procedure and some chicks die from the shock!
Another short clip from Kentucky Fried Cruelty:
These images were shot in a pig farm in North Carolina, the second largest pig producing state in the United States:
How do we expect nutritious food when these antibiotic-stuffed animals are raised in a filthy, cramped and unhealthy environment? They really don’t have to go through such sufferings if only farm workers would make changes to way they handle them. At the end of the day, sick animals are going to make humans sick!
