Undercover Investigations

Four hours ago PETA published the results of our newest undercover investigation from a turkey factory farm. The undercover worker filmed workers torturing, mutilating, and maliciously killing turkeys. The following are just a few of the documented offenses:
· Employees stomped on turkeys' heads, punched turkeys, hit them on the head with a can of spray paint and pliers, and struck turkeys' heads against metal scaffolding.
· Men shoved feces and feed into turkeys' mouths and held turkeys' heads under water. Another bragged about jamming a broom stick 2 feet down a turkey's throat.
· A supervisor said he saw workers kill 450 turkeys with 2-by-4s.
· One man said he saw a coworker fatally inject turkey semen and sulfuric acid into turkeys' heads.
PETA’s undercover investigators are incredibly brave. They are truly my heroes. It is only because of their sacrifices that we are able to expose these horrors and stop them.

This video will result in serious changes in the meat industry. It will also create thousands of new vegetarians! If you’re sick at the thought of eating turkey after watching the video, check out all the fabulous holiday recipes at VegCooking.com!

Undercover investigators have to spend months living completely incognito. They can’t talk to anyone they know, and they can’t let their guard down for an instant. If they expose their true selves they are in serious danger. They witness hell on earth every day, in order to get the footage the public needs to see.

It costs about $60,000 to fund one investigation from start to finish. The hidden cameras. The video editing and productions. The lawsuits when the animal torturers sue PETA and try to stop the video from being shown (they always lose). The cost of the videos we send to the media. The web feature and online marketing to get the word out.

PETA doesn’t receive help from the government to expose this disgusting cruelty. It’s all donations…it’s all YOU, and thank you!!

Here, here and here are stories about undercover investigators.

Be sure to send the video from this new investigation to all your friends and family!
