One of four men who was seen stomping on turkeys' heads
Turkey.JPG

We have a brand-new investigation of a turkey factory farm, and we wanted to let the investigator introduce it to you himself. See what he has to say, then please check out the video.

The alarm clock on my cell blares out at 1 a.m. I twist in pain. It can't be time to get up yet. I hit the snooze button twice. Finally I roll over and rub my face with my hands, feeling the calloused-over blisters scratching my cheeks. The insides of my eyes and nose hurt from the dust that I could not wash out from the hours I worked yesterday in the barns where turkeys spend their entire lives.

They are crammed into pens, sometimes 600 or 800 to a pen. There are almost 8,000 turkeys in one barn. Each of these turkey farms has two or three barns. The dust inside the barns is sickening. I can’t even go in without a respirator mask. I cough and choke from not being able to breathe. I see the turkeys panting much of the time. I think about grabbing one of them and carrying her outside and putting her in the grass where she could breathe and walk freely. It is so sad that they are reduced to this miserable existence just to make some profit.

There are times when I have to hold back the tears. To see the workers torture these animals is infuriating. Today we are loading a truck with male turkeys who have been bred to weigh 80-plus pounds—the same weight as my 10-year-old cousin. I will spend the next four hours watching men slam them into cages on the back of a semi truck in temperatures near 20°F. I have seen these guys stomp turkeys’ heads on the concrete. The sound of cracking beaks and breaking bones makes me cringe, but I can show no emotion. I am forced to watch in silent pain as these innocent lives are being destroyed.

Turkey factory farms endorse suffering. They sell death. They make money on abuse. They do not want to show people what happens here. Everyone should know what happens here. I have spent two and a half months in hell so that people will know what it means to have a turkey on the table. Watch the video, and show people the truth. Make this world a better place by reducing pain and suffering. And please do not eat turkey this Thanksgiving.



Comments


I can't imagine what it must have been like, but thank you for going through that to expose the incomprehensible and completely unnecessary cruelty that goes on. As of yet, I can't watch the video.

I have just tried to email the West Virginia Aviagen plant with my comments about their practices. Guess what - the site is blocked!
I wonder why.

Posted by: Lyn Faull | November 18, 2008 09:33 PM

I commend you for doing this. I can't even make it through the videos w/o losing it; I can't imagine being right there and not be able to do anything. I didn't see anything about charges being made against the company or the men. Are there going to be any sort of charges brought against them?
Thanks again for doing what you do.
Sincerely,
Denise D Heimstead

There no way I can watch horrific animal cruelty videos! It's so disturbing and sad.:( Everyone that is not vegan should be forced to watch this!

Posted by: Natasha | November 19, 2008 06:52 AM

I can't even begin to say how amazed I am by you guys (undercover investigators). Partially thanks to PETA I have been vegan for around 1 1/2 months and still going strong. So know that your work DOES make a difference. Thank you.

Posted by: Eve | November 19, 2008 07:05 AM

OH MY GOD! This is so sick....I want to stomp these bastards heads on the concrete... These bozos have got to be brought to justice! Damn, I am so mad right now! Grrrrrr! I will never understand how anyone could do such things. I wish I could take all the turkeys home with me.

Posted by: Tammy | November 19, 2008 07:46 AM

This is so horrible what they are doing to these terkeys. This is just one more reason to go vegitarian. Someone should put thoses people who do that in the same persition, maybe snap off their heads, hear them screem and laugh our heads off. see how they like it

Posted by: Megan gaine | November 19, 2008 10:27 AM

It's soul-less human beings like these that make it sooo much easier for me to be veg!!! Everyone out there NEEDS to watch this investigation and whomever still decides to consume turkeys ARE no better then these F*****'s on the video!!! Not only on Thanksgiving BUT everyday... Go Veg!!! It's the only way!!!

I am sitting at my desk at work, crying over the violence I just watched (only half of the video). It's come to the point where I can't even try to make sense of the human beings that do these unspeakable things to harmless animals. I don't think we will ever figure out why certain people have a screw or two loose.

Posted by: Kristin | November 19, 2008 12:56 PM

I think the guy who used to work there for making this video is a saint!
Respect!
Those poor, poor creatures...
I can't understand why people still want to eat Turkey when they knów where they come from!
Disgusting!!!!
I'm glad the animals in The Netherlands are treated in a better way...
And I am véry glad I do not eat meat and dairy-products.

Posted by: Maaike Seggelink | November 19, 2008 01:05 PM

I would like to know why the ignorant men in these video's have their faces bleeped out? I think they should be seen, let the world see these disgusting people.
People like that need to feel that kind of torture.

The bad thing is these pieces of vile scum walk and are among us., every single day while they breathe good air.

Posted by: keith | November 19, 2008 01:47 PM

This is really scary, don't we realize that a person who would do this to animals is dangerous to people. I mean pretending to rape a turkey, who knows who else this man has "pretended" to rape. Psychological studies show that people who are capable of this kind of violence against animals are more then capable of violent acts against people. It is just so simple, stop the violence on animals and you stop the violence. Thank you PETA for all of your hard work.

Posted by: Meagan Norris | November 19, 2008 01:56 PM

Swearing won't get the job done. Let's be thankful to organizations like PETA who expose the wrongdoing of factory farms and lobby for change. What is witnessed in this undercover investigation is absolutely disgraceful. I am saying this as a meat eater. It is not just vegetarians or vegans who support ethical treatment of animals. Getting the word out is the most important thing we can do together as animal lovers. I am well aware that factory farm animals give the ultimate sacrifice – their very lives, for our welfare. That being said, we MUST treat these animals with the utmost respect and care. Most people don’t even think about it. They just see a nice turkey in the supermarket. Congratulations to PETA for bringing these horrors to the mainstream conscience.

Posted by: John | November 19, 2008 03:05 PM

Not only we all have to go vegetarian, but obviously there is something seriously wrong with the humans in this country that they are able to act with such cruelty and treat these innocent animals they way they do. why do we have so may psychopaths, mentally degenerated people? is it the food they eat? we have to really dig in the root of this.

Posted by: gazelle | November 19, 2008 03:28 PM

This got picked up by Drudge, even.

Posted by: Abby | November 19, 2008 04:09 PM

im a college student that was raised around livestock farms all my life....these things yall show on videos is a inaccurate presentaion of how animals are treated on farms...yes there are some exceptions...some people do not treat aminals like they need to...but as for myself and 95 percent of all other farmers...we respect our animals more than alot of humans...we are working 24 hours a day to ensure that our animals stay healthy and happy...these videos that you only concerned a very small portion of farmers

Posted by: Jonny Hom | November 19, 2008 04:39 PM

This has got to STOP..........

Posted by: MA Moore | November 19, 2008 04:50 PM

how do you properly kill a turkey for consumption?

Posted by: cmm | November 19, 2008 04:58 PM

I raised turkeys for years and never treated them such as this. I had a small flock that were free range. However, yes one has to "kill" a turkey obviously for consumption but not in the manner as shown in this video and not as a release for one's anger. That's appalling. I don't agree with how they handled them. However, I will not stop eating turkey either. There are other options as to where to buy them other than large "slaughter" houses such as these.

Posted by: John

Gd DAMN John! Just WHO are you trying to fool!?? YOURSELF!?? Condoning your meat addiction via some HYPOCRISY there ARE YA? Did you KNOW hypocrisy is a sin BEYOND repair! HOW can you be a activist for farm animals while eating them?? Supporting them?? My God you ARE insane and a dumb fork at that!?

Be THANKFUL for PETA? If it weren't for the meat eaters we/PETA wouldn't have to work SO hard to cover these atrocities and YOU, YOU are JUST as guilty as the perpetrators in the video!

If by ANY chance you actually THINK that ANY of your meat you eat comes from HUMANITY than you're AS STUPID as your comment portrays you to be and anybody who tells you different are LYING!!! YOU my man, NEED to WAKE UP and SMELL the bacon frying in the pan!!

As I have stated in SO MANY blogs up here, to ALL the meat eaters who've HAD a TASTE of the anti-Christ meat industry should leave your comments TO YOURSELVES and OFF these blogs because YOU, the consumer ARE the problem!! Can you NOT understand that!?

The ONLY way to avoid the subject is to STOP contributing but IT SEEMS the meat addicts will TRY anything to CONDONE their selfish, petty desires and NASTY habits all in the name of farm animal abuse and it SUX!!

CHEW on THAT John and ALL you meat addicts included!!

God BLESS the Beasts & Birds '(

Posted by: Shari | November 19, 2008 07:28 PM

WOW Jonny Hom you're the FIRST I've ever heard that from! Just WHERE are these farms? Most people I know who have lived around live stock farms/ranches have become Vegan JUST because of the abuse and cruelty witnessed.

I THINK you are a BIT out of touch with reality ') but if this IS the case, then these farms have absolutely NO connections to the NASTY-A$$ ANTI-Christ meat industry...

Posted by: Shari | November 19, 2008 07:37 PM

Where do the ineffably cruel individuals who work on these factory farms come from? Is there any hope for reeducating them, or would a taste of their own behavior be more appropriate?

Posted by: Darren Swift | November 19, 2008 11:25 PM

I emailed Aviagen and will be finding out who gets turkeys from them and stop buying their products. I stopped buying anything from Hormel based on the undercover investigation of the pig farm that PETA did.

Posted by: KQ | November 20, 2008 09:19 AM

TO KQ!

Believe you me it's NOT just THIS turkey producer OR Hormel IT'S ALL producers of your meat products! You're just WITNESSING the UNLUCKY ones exposed by PETA ') BUTTERBALL is THE WORST!

To ASSURE yourself you are NOT contributing is to STOP eating what previously had a face, heart & soul. IT'S the ONLY WAY to END the crimes & cruelty, CASE CLOSED!

Posted by: Shari | November 20, 2008 10:40 AM

Well Done ! '' Shari,'' two fine comments. '' Thank you.''

Posted by: keith | November 20, 2008 11:19 AM

Shari, your anger is misguided. Just because you are a vegan or vegetarian doesn't give you the right to rip others with diff. meat beliefs. You can eat an animal, really, it's ok. the bible is filled with animals that are eaten even by Christ himself. It is the TREATMENT of the animals, not the fact that we EAT them. Get it straight ok?

Posted by: cmm | November 20, 2008 12:02 PM

In less volatile environments, I have witness supervisors' lack of supervisory skills. I am not the least beat suprised in a volatile environment, the supervisor is in question to begin with.

Posted by: JOY DANTINE | November 20, 2008 12:11 PM

Thank you for your work undercover. To think about seeing it in person and being unable to react would be just awful. It makes my heart ache. Good work!

Posted by: CAS | November 20, 2008 06:39 PM

Let's remember that veggies like us and meat-eaters like John who are concerned with animal welfare are still the minority and give the guy a break. Freaking out on other advocates, pure or not, solves nothing and it will surely take all of us to change the world for animals.

Posted by: Elphaba | November 20, 2008 06:51 PM

Dear cmm,
Lets take it back further- Since you are quoting the bible- Lets go back to the garden, they were vegetarians then. Nothing said about eating meat.Adam and Eve were the first vegetarians. As a matter of fact, there are religous groups that will NOT eat meat because of this fact.

In any case, it's plain disgusting how those animals are treated.
A woman speaking for the farms this morning tried to make PETA look like the bad guy because we want to make the world go veg. and not buy meat and put those poor farmers out of business. Well guess what- I do want the world to go veg. I guess she was right in a sense. I want all of them out of buisnes.

Posted by: Faith | November 20, 2008 07:30 PM

Why in USA is such crulety allowed on any animals these are Gods creatures to even when their used for food all farm animals should have humane treatment as well as pets but the best way to avoid this is go veg and help Peta go after these companies that do this abuse on animals We can do this in our country and change things even though it seems like slow process we cant give up on this horror we have to witness for the ones that have no voices I know I wont

Posted by: Carol | November 20, 2008 07:36 PM

TO cmm!!!

Aaaaahhhh you HAD to get me started didn't ya? Tell ya what dummied downed, brainwashed cmm what you are contributing to when you EAT meat is GOD'S WORST sin, the crime and corruption of the meat industry=exploitation of animals! $$$$$$$$$$$$

The bible states, God gave FREE WILL to ALL living beings of the land, THAT my friend, includes non human animals!! To live WITHIN their God given instincts and NATURAL habitats FREE from harm...Have dominance means care for AND protect! I don't KNOW about YOU but in MY eyes that does NOT equate anything CLOSE to drugged up, toxin soaked, poison sprayed, mutilation WITHOUT anesthesia basically imprisoned slaves in INTENSE confinement! God WAS very AWARE that money would destroy man and GOSH DARN, he was RIGHT ON THE HEAD don't ya think?! LOOK where we're at NOW the GOVT/ELITE BANKERS stole ALL our money WITHOUT our permission...is that what liberty stands for? I think NOT! We are now BANKRUPT and it's only going to get WORSE from her on out because only a fraction of us, the NON sheeple KNOW we must FIGHT for our freedom along with being a service to God!

I HOPE your comment was meant to just RILE ME and NOT what you REALLY think is true because IF you REALLY DO think in this manner then YOU are the SORRY one and definitely NOT the brightest star in the sky! But DON'T fret, you're NOT alone as there are MANY (TOO many) JUST LIKE you and as I ALWAYS say, what goes around COMES around ') Believe you me!

In THIS day and age people have become ADDICTED to food because 'the sheeple' in this country LOOK upon food as ENTERTAINMENT a QUICK FIX and NOT for survival! Your food is actually KILLING YOU SLOWLY...Your food IS your medicine, your medicine IS your food. Healing food does NOT come from the anti-Christ meat industry or any other multi million corp that are enmeshed with the govt...which INCLUDE the Pharma giants whose drugs and toxins are fed to you CONSISTENTLY via the meat, dairy industry, etc with total LACK of concern for its consumers health (it's all about the money) when you RELY on the govt/CORP world to feed your ass...CHEW ON THAT SOME...tastes A BIT BITTER don't it??!

The govt LOVES the idea the LAZY OBESE ones have taken a FANCY to the INSTANT gratification/convenient 'DIRTY FOOD' that you have SO HEAVILY relied on THEM for, LOL, this way ') they can TAKE IT AWAY from you in an instant and you'll be FORKED because you have NO idea how to survive without THEM (and not only food, everything else too) and THEY DID this on purpose, ever heard of FASCISM? Because if you think your FREE you're out of touch BIG TIME my friend!!

ALL THEIR luxuries they provided you with ALL THESE YEARS can be taken away LIKE THAT! They have LED the CLOSED minded sheeple to slaughter because of their total LACK of self discipline and self control, not only WITH food but with MONEY too, spending WAY BEYOND their means but THAT IS addiction...entertainment and instant gratification!!

Other countries think WE ARE a joke and to be Honest with you I WHOLE heartedly AGREE! We have been IN a pact with the devil (Corporate Greed, Capitalism, FALSE FLAG wars, etc) as God even gave SATAN free will and LOOK, HE'S ARRIVED!!

cmm maybe it's time for you to take another gander at the bible and tell me WHERE exactly it states there is NOTHING wrong with this practice of GREED and exploitation of animals...

EVERYONE (Yes, even the meat addicts) JOIN US, We NEED you!!
STAND UP, MAKE yourselves ACCOUNTED FOR and LET your voices BE HEARD before it's TOO LATE!!!

THANKS, MUCH appreciated ')

Posted by: Shari | November 20, 2008 08:44 PM

I just happen to live right near this turkey farm and have also known a few people who worked there, and I must say i am disgusted and so ashamed of how they have treated these poor animals. I am not a vegetarian but after seeing this, i can definately say that i am not eating turkey anymore!! I hope these people are shut down and are punished for what they are doing.

Posted by: sdh | November 20, 2008 09:05 PM

LET ME ADD TO THAT cmm

Believe you ME, I GOT IT straight and I don't project anger I project TOTAL disgust of IGNORANCE amongst these blogs and it's SO true, there is a FINE line between arrogance and ignorance YESIRREESIR

Do I detest a BIT OF GUILT there cm? For THE REASON you perceived my post as coming off as MISGUIDED anger? Let's open the TIGHTLY closed mind of yours cm and TAKE a CLOSER look OK? ')

Posted by: Shari | November 20, 2008 09:10 PM

To CMM- not everyone believes in the Bible, you need to get it straight, ok?
Its about letting every living thing be here in peace,left alone,free,and having the respect that each one of us thinks we deserve! We are all here on this earth, living side by side and we should show compassion and respect for everything and everyone. The animals have just as much right to live on this planet in peace as we do. It's their land too. Its also about rights in my opinion and animals got the short end of the stick.If that was a human those assholes were throwing around they would be sent to prison for a long time. Its not fair! We are all visitors here on this planet. No living thing should endure any type of abuse nor be killed for human consumption/purposes! I do not understand how kicking a dog lands you in court, but allowing the abuse/slaughter of animals everyday all the US is somehow ok.{Animal testing as well} Its all abuse in my opinion! We have no right to take any living things life! The whole sysytem is full of hypocrites! They love their dogs and cats, but sit and suck on ribs and pork chops. Disgusting!

Posted by: Pete | November 21, 2008 07:20 AM

God bless you and PETA for your heroic efforts, you will have good luck for acting as the voice of these innocent, defenseless animals -Your soldier strength has exposed these Nazis and they must pay for these crimes, charges must be brought against ALL of them and they MUST NOT be able to walk away! They MUST pay! I have no problem with people having to feed their children BUT it must be done in a respectful and humane manner! Death for any animal must be instantly AND without pain! If we ignore any of this, we all share the same fate as the innocent animals pictured in the video!

Posted by: gchiapelli | November 21, 2008 10:22 AM

First of all Shari, when you type certain words in CAPS and the language you type, you ARE sounding very angry; not frustrated. That is why I replied like that. You can't hear sounds of the voice when one types, is that better? There is no guilt here Shari!

As far as the bible, neither of us are experts so we can call that issue a moot point. Unless you have a degree or I have a degree in theology.....and I don't and I doubt you do too.

I respect your choice to not eat meat and I would never try to take that choice away from you ever; why can't you respect someone who does eat meat? It is a choice we are allowed to have....free will you say? Where is it free will when one side tries to impose or force their beliefs on the other? Or to call them closed minded because they choose differently? Where is your sense of debate or respect?

I thought the whole point to PETA's existence is how we treat the animals..humanely, without additives or toxins, etc. and I agree with that..Free range and as natural of an existence as possible is important!

I support humane treatment of animals, not going "veg".

Can you honestly tell me that PETA stands for vegetarianism???

Please clarify what PETA really is......getting us to treat animals humanely, or, converting to no meat?

And by the way, we have a diff. of opinion on if animals have a soul....I think they don't, you do. I respect your belief. Please respect mine.

Are you ready to tell me what PETA really stands for?

Posted by: cmm | November 21, 2008 11:19 AM

oh yes, one more comment Shari, no where in the bible does it state greed is good, I agree with ya there. It says they ate meat. Let's get that point settled.

Also, I won't be on a computer til Monday so if you don't see a reply, it is not because I won't, it is because I don't have a computer at home. Have a nice weekend.

Posted by: cmm | November 21, 2008 01:03 PM

Ya got THAT RIGHT Pete!! EXCELLENT POST, LOVE YA ' )

Yeah cmm NEEDS a HARSH reality check as well and to tell ya the TRUTH, LOL, I don't think cmm has EVER opened up a bible but THEN again, there's a FINE line between arrogance & ignorance...

Posted by: Shari | November 21, 2008 02:04 PM

And if you opened a bible Shari it would say things like do not judge others lest you be judged....but that doesn't mean a thing to you does it? You spout and spout but where is YOUR respect for others? Where is your decency? You find a need to dig and bash other's beliefs....cuz it doesn't match yours.

Did I ever make fun of you? No. Did I ever put you down? No, I gave an opinion about how your emails were looking angry and stated my opinion on the subject at hand. I have a right to an opinion though it may not be JUST LIKE YOURS> Where is your sense of debate and non-hatred?....I feel bad for you.

Posted by: Jess | November 21, 2008 03:34 PM

aaahhhh cmm ONCE AGAIN, there's a FINE line between arrogance & plain old IGNORANCE which your response CLEARLY implies!!

Especially where you state, neither of us are experts, WHAT???? Speak for YOURSELF! NO need to possess a degree in theology, ROTFLMFAO, to interpret the bible, WHERE is your head AT??? That's TOTALLY absurd on your part, you have absolutely NO idea what the bible reads DO YA? It sure DOESN'T appear that way, to Faith either! READ Faith's response to you, she HIT it RIGHT on the head too...To TRY and brainwash OR IGNORANTLY convince a FREE spirit IS FUTILE ' ) SHAME ON YOU

I can also RELATE to the above because if you WERE familiar with the bible you WOULD be aware that ALL living creatures DO have souls, just WHY would you think NOT? My answer to THAT? It's a trait of self centered superiority, feeling a BIT GUILTY again are ya? Therefore you feel SO superior you DENY them to have souls so the MASSIVE slaughter, which goes AGAINST the bible, can continue to FEED your nasty addiction of eating meat!

"The soul IS THE SAME in ALL living creatures, ALTHOUGH the body of each IS different."

cmm, YES! I can HONESTLY state THE FACT that PETA DOES stand for Vegetarianism PREFERABLY Veganism as we TRY to persuade the consumer by giving you a TASTE of the meat industry and ALL other exploiters (dairy, fur, labs, etc) as THAT, my friend, IS the ONLY way to END the HORRORS...just HOW cmm, can you treat an animal HUMANELY at the SAME time eating them as CORP world is NOT going to change, maybe for a short time because they were caught, but it's ALWAYS BACK TO BUSINESS as usual (example AGRIPROCESSORS) for the REASON of the MASSIVE demand!! What do you thing CORPORATISM means? It means the multi million $$$ corps RULE this country, LOOK at the commercials on TV nothing but FAST FOODS and DANGEROUS drug! BOTH pushing DEADLY products on the consumers! Meat industry AND Pharma (MOST dangerous drugs IN this country) They ALL have their political lobbyists to buy and bribe for them along WITH their 'RIGHT HAND MAN' the government (USDA, FDA, EPA, etc) it's organized CRIME! We are in a BARGAIN with the devil as God even gave Satan FREE WILL and LOOK he's arrived and IN power now! WAKE UP cmm this is NO longer a nation under God!

Are YOU SO blind as to NOT see the amount of fast food restaurants, sit down restaurants, grocery stores, SUPER WALMARTS and the MASS amounts of meat addicts in THIS country ALONE? There is NO way possible for HUMANE treatment! It ALL comes down to GREED and the MORE killed an hour the MORE $$$ and ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE allow this to register in your TINY little CLOSED mind ' )...

The ONLY way to END the un- Godly MASSACRE is to STOP contributing, CASE CLOSED!! NOW, do YOU have a BIGGER & BETTER solution cmm that you can come up with so you can CONTINUE on with your LOVE for meat??? I KNOW NOT because EVERY time you take a BITE out of a previously living being that HAD a soul, you are JUST AS BAD as the perpetrators you witness in these HORRIFIC videos and if anyone tells you DIFFERENT, THEY are meat addicts!!

You see I don't respect meat eaters when they witness what's REALLY going down yet want to CONDONE their meat eating by CLAIMING they want to support better treatment of the animals THEY EAT! That's a COP OUT and ONLY FOOLS profess this idiocy and AGAIN, HYPOCRISY is a sin BEYOND repair and ONLY goes to show the LACK of self control, self discipline AND conscience which is WAY BELOW any non human animal, SORRY to say it but it IS true!

OH believe you ME, LOL, I AWAIT your NEXT brilliant response but I wouldn't recommend it because actually YOU are the CAUSE, the problem, so DO us AUTHENTIC animal activists AND expert bible interpretors a FAVOR, KEEP your comments to yourself and OFF this page so we can GO ABOUT our business of PROTECTING the weak who have NO voice because as long as you remain a meat addict YOU are the problem!!

Posted by: Shari | November 21, 2008 03:54 PM

ONCE AGAIN, TO cmm who just DOESN'T get it : (

And if you opened a bible Shari it would say things like do not judge others lest you be judged....but that doesn't mean a thing to you does it? You spout and spout but where is YOUR respect for others?

Judging???? I'm stating FACT here cmm NO force, plain FACT. Unless just MAYBE you are interpreting it TO BE force via your subconscience ya think? God DOES work in MYSTERIOUS ways ' )

You got THAT RIGHT cmm, YES I WILL demean HYPOCRITS as I do NOT respect meat addicts who TRY to condone their NASTY habit via DEMANDING better treatment in a world BASED on CORPORATISM (GREED) LOL!

Where is your decency? You find a need to dig and bash other's beliefs....cuz it doesn't match yours.

I can't say MUCH for YOU but MY decency is MY knowledge and MY voice for the voiceless TO BE HEARD and yeah, a LOUD one at THAT ' ) plus the FACT I DON'T contribute to my convictions, contributing to your convictions is PURE insanity! It's either FIGHT or FLIGHT and I chose FIGHT, the meat addicts choose FLIGHT and FLIGHT does NOT describe TRUE activism! cmm, you are SO RIGHT, yes I WILL continue to dig & bash when it comes to COMPLETE ignorance especially when it's right THERE in front of your face though has NO affect WHATSOEVER because of your beliefs???! LOL, Just WHAT & WHOSE beliefs consist of eating meat??

Eating meat is for people who are LAZY and LACK imagination as to possibly CREATE ideas, ON THEIR OWN, for more healthier and compassionate choices for means to survive. LOL, The meat addicts usually scream out in a panic, WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO EAT! NO, eating meat is a CONVENIENT choice and definitely NOT a belief of ANY sort, you REALLY SO portray yourself to be a COMPLETE idiot, first by making an ATTEMPT to quote the bible THEN by refusing to STOP contributing yet COMPLAIN about the treatment of the victims who you SAY have NO souls. You are CONSISTENTLY contradicting yourself, do you not HEAR it or are you REALLY TRULY this dizzy?

Did I ever make fun of you? No. Did I ever put you down? No, I gave an opinion about how your emails were looking angry and stated my opinion on the subject at hand. I have a right to an opinion though it may not be JUST LIKE YOURS> Where is your sense of debate and non-hatred?....I feel bad for you.

LOL, Make fun?? You seem VERY young via your defenses but HEY what do I EXPECT from a HYPOCRITE! Hey, I'm NOT up here looking to make friends cmm I'm here to make a statement, my intentions ARE to WAKE the ignorant up WITH PURE fact and YOU are the ONLY one complaining, I'm being too mean, making fun, waaa waaa waaa you seem to be a VERY sheltered whiner who is OUT of touch with reality. I am respected by MANY readers and posters up here and USUALLY get compliments from the 'intelligent' readers because BASICALLY it's all COMMON SENSE I write, I get the point across with FACTUAL detail, FACTUAL because I've been a VEGAN activist for OVER 30 years, I witnessed Corporatism SLITHER its way into this country along WITH the FAST upheaval of 'hidden from the public' factory farms and I fought HARD to stop it and STILL do ' ) and the SAD fact IS the ONLY way to END the suffering is to STOP contributing, otherwise it continues on whether you CHOOSE to believe it or NOT!

THAT, cmm, is MY decency, What I FIGHT for I STAND for (NO flip flopping here). I have NO respect for hypocrisy in ANY way, shape OR form, I DESPISE it WITH a DRIVING passion...THAT is MY belief!

Respect gets you far, not force.

Have a nice life and I wish you nothing but the best...

I will pray for you and hope that you can calm down.

cmm, I HAVE an EXCELLENT life therefore you NEED to project your deeply concerned wishes and prayers onto the ones who TRULY need it, LOL, your IMMENSELY SUFFERING victims you USE for the PLEASING of your pallet ' ) Oh FORGOT, we MUST hold on to those TOXIC beliefs RIGHT? LOL!

I sympathize for you cmm, because you are a LOST soul in a world of MASS confusion and the ONLY way to survive in a land of confusion is to SEEK out the truth and THEN accept it for WHAT it is as TRUTH will ALWAYS set you free ' )

P.S. Please DON'T let my capitals INTIMIDATE you, they're merely attention getters ' )

GOD BLESS THE BEASTS
PEACE!

It makes me so sad. My in-laws ask us to go to Thanksgiving at their house every year. I told them, there is nothing thankful about sitting at a table with a dead bird and them eating it. I am going to try and send them the video so they can try to understand how gross it is to me, and my family to be at a table with a dead bird that was tortured.

Right on Shari! If no one speaks up, they will never hear us.
We need to be in their faces- cmm and the millions behind him/her?
We need to be a constant reminder to let who ever know that behind every mouthful was a cruel keeper.
cmm- there are so many alternatives other than eating meat. Take a Veg. cooking course and you will see how much better it is for you in body, spirit and mind.
Yes, your meat is killing you.
That woman who represented the farm understands full well that the image is a powerful tool for change.
Yes, I want to be in their faces everyday , we need to be in their faces everyday to remind them of their disgusting habit of eating meat.
Thank you Peta! Thank you Shari!

TO PETE & FAITH

RIGHT ON...you TELL cmm whoever he/she IS but I know one thing FOR SURE a complete hypocrite FOOL!

Sits up here, watching all the abuses and horror, professes concern for the treatment of the animals, tells us it's OK to eat meat because the bible says so, even Christ ate it, LOL yet continues to contribute to the horrors!

See why it's SO hard to try and convince these buttheads the only way to end the massacre on animals is to QUIT eating them and PETA stands for just THAT yet he/she was dumbfounded when I informed her of that and probably is STILL in the dark for the reason PETA exists. LOL!

DUMB as a BOX O' ROCKS!!

Peace

Back in the early 80's I managed a corporate turkey farm in Wadesboro,North Carolina, owned by Cuddy Farms of Canada. Everything you see in these video clips is dead on accurate.

Honestly, what is WRONG with these "men" who are stomping on the tiny heads of these adorable birds. I literally cringed, felt like vomiting and crying and have not watched the rest yet. It blows my mind. That is like stomping on a kitten's head, just unfathomable.
