Please End Cruelty to Chickens Raised and Killed for Your Company:
I was shocked by the sickening cruelty to animals that PETA documented inside Tyson’s Union City, Tennessee, and Cumming, Georgia, slaughterhouses. The video footage shows that birds are stabbed, punched, decapitated, and thrown violently into shackles. Even worse, the video revealed that supervisors were aware of most of the abuse but did not stop it.
I am shocked that Tyson Foods has not implemented meaningful animal welfare guidelines in its facilities and that KFC allows its suppliers to get away with it.
Tyson Foods should fire all the workers who were responsible for the abuse documented in these two facilities, immediately install video cameras on all killing floors and in all hang areas, hire its own undercover investigators to look for and report cruelty, and immediately begin phasing in the use of controlled-atmosphere killing at all slaughterhouses. KFC should require Tyson and all its other suppliers to follow through with these simple steps. Until these changes are made, I will not be a customer of either company, and I will encourage all my friends not to be customers of either company too.
