Butterball Thanksgiving Turkey Company Under Investigation

AP. – Nov 12. Butterball turkey plant under investigation for animal abuse.

There have been complaints of animal abuse by former employees that worked at butterball which has sparked a investigation into the company’s treatment of animals.

One worker told an investigator: "If you jump on their stomachs right, they'll pop ... or their insides will come out of their [rectums]," and other Butterball workers frequently bragged about kicking and tormenting birds.

One Butterball employee stomped on a bird's head until her skull exploded, another swung a turkey against a metal handrail so hard that her spine popped out, and another was seen inserting his finger into a turkey's cloaca (vagina).

It was also noted that what gives meat its taste is feces. The turkeys after they are slaughtered sit in a swimming pool like vat of their own feces, its done with all meat.

Butterball had no comment on this investigation.
