Undercover PETA workers have once again caught a meat-breeding company viciously abusing animals.
This time, it's a turkey farm called Aviagen, a supplier of millions of turkeys for holiday meals.

The rotting remains of about 70 hens were left amid live birds—who had to climb over the dead—for more than a day. A supervisor urinated in turkey pens, and workers spat tobacco in the pens as well. The suffering typically found on factory farms was also routine in Aviagen's sheds: Hens' beaks were cut with pliers, massive birds collapsed and died of exhaustion or heart attacks, and turkeys were thrown into transport cages.
From Getactive.peta.org: More than 72 million of the nearly 270 million turkeys killed for food every year in the U.S. are slaughtered for holiday meals.
