In a huge victory for animals, a grand jury has issued 19
indictments for cruelty to animals against three former employees of
Aviagen Turkeys, Inc. And it gets better—11 of the indictments are
on felony charges. This marks the first time in U.S. history that
factory-farm employees have faced felony cruelty-to-animals charges
for abusing birds.
These indictments are the result of PETA's undercover investigation
at Aviagen's factory farms in West Virginia, which uncovered workers
stomping, kicking, throwing, and killing turkeys in unimaginably
cruel ways. Our investigator's video footage was seen by the West
Virginia State Police, whose investigator then conducted his own
prompt and thorough investigation, leading to these indictments in
Greenbrier County.
