PETA video, sexual abuse of turkeys

[damsonnatter]

WARNING ⚠️ it's an incredibly difficult watch
But PETA have recently released a video on their Instagram which details secret reporting of a large turkey factory in the states where workers are submitting defenceless birds to physical and sexual abuse.

How can 'humans' do this?
I'm not vegan, but I've been giving it some serious thought recently. How can we keep burying our heads and believing that our meat is killed humanely.

Until there is reduced demand for intensive animal farming, how can we live believing that these things don't happen?

If 'humans' can do this to defenceless animals, how can we believe women or children to be safe from these same predators who are not held accountable due to lack of animal right and protection

I have witnessed appalling abuse on UK farms and slaughterhouses. The regulation is poor and standards are low. People believe they’re high because they’re told they are and we have worthless things like RSPCA assured and red tractor.

Old thread

There are no depths of depravity that some ‘humans’ will not sink to. Will never get over the fact that people salivate over it whilst dismissing the idea that TEN MILLION are murdered for them they dont even get a thought

not watching any videos either but thanks for bringing it to peoples attention OP

Yes it is but a timely reminder

Whether you think about shocking animal cruelty in the food production chain or not, it happens. Burying your head in the sand and not wanting to know about the atrocities is more offensive to many

Women and children are not safe from these predators, and never will be.

I don't think you can really humanely kill an animal. Even if you could, there is still that poor little lifeless body laying there afterward. It's a sad sad thing.

I'm vegetarian all my life but I developed more compassion for farm animals after coming across a bull in a field. It was just looking at me, and I stopped walking and looked at it and I could see it was an individual living being just like my cats at home. With its own little personality. Meat is one of the most evil things in the world today.

I see cooked full bodies of pigs and it just makes me sad

Some men are absolutely disgusting. I really don’t know what the answer is beyond quietly wishing you could shuffle them quietly off to an island somewhere.

The processing plant down the road from me hang live chickens upside down by their feet and plunge them into boiling hot electrified water before slitting their throats. 10 thousend chickens killed every hour and 9 thousend pigs a day. Would we send our beloved pets to die so 'humanely' i wonder?

This is the real question isn't it. It's not that eating meat of itself is so awful, it's the way the animals are treated beforehand that's often beyond awful.

Not humans op, it’s specifically men. Male entitlement run rampant.

I think killing animals for meat in itself is awful

@Wonderi "The slaughter houses here are not perfect, there is abuse that happens but the conditions are (meant to be) regulated and checked up on with higher standards of welfare."

Sorry but it isn't. Sexual and/or violent abuse of animals is common practice in abbatoirs and the whole food production chain here in the UK, no matter how local or trusted. This is nothing new. I have no doubt a lot of men take these jobs just so they can carry out their sick perversions. I'm surprised a lot of posters haven't seen other equally appalling articles about it over the years.

Yes unfortunately it does happen in this country but it’s the lesser of 2 evils.

There are laws and regulations, inspections and cctv unlike in other countries where there is absolutely nothing.

So it’s always better to eat meat that was raised and killed in the UK, especially as the transport alone is usually one of the most horrifying experiences for animals that travel across countries.
