This National Poultry Day, a new Compassion Over Killing video is shining a bright light on the terrors we documented inside high-speed chicken slaughterhouse Amick Farms. Watch & share the shocking 30-second video, and then help us keep the pressure on the USDA to end high-speed slaughter through a generous donation TODAY!

The short video opens with horrifying shots from the Amick Farms slaughter line, along with the text “Three Birds Every Second”—the heartbreaking number of animals killed on just one slaughter line at just one slaughter plant under the USDA’s cruel high-speed slaughter program.

COK’s recent investigation of Amick Farms revealed birds being punched, shoved, and thrown down the fast-paced kill line, and other birds slowly drowned in electrified stunning baths during equipment breakdown. Our investigator also documented “red birds,” with blood seen under their skin—evidence that they were scalded alive.

But Amick Farms and the USDA have yet to admit the disastrous effects of running kill lines at recklessly fast speeds of up to 175 birds slaughtered every minute, causing workers to make critical errors—and put themselves in danger—as they rush to keep up.

And the USDA is plowing ahead with plans to allow even more slaughterhouses to increase their line speeds, endangering millions of animals, workers, and consumers nationwide. The federal agency recently announced its intention to begin rule-making later this year that could allow thousands of poultry plants to run at the same horrifying pace as Amick Farms.

With your support, we have teamed up with elite athletes, delivered more than a quarter million signatures to the USDA’s doorstep, and written a hard-hitting letter signed by more than 30 diverse organizations in opposition to the USDA’s dangerous high-speed pig and poultry slaughter plans.

After sharing our new video, help us keep the pressure on the USDA to stand up for animals against the profit-driven chicken industry this National Poultry Day. Spread your wings for birds with a generous donation to our work TODAY! It’s fast, easy, and secure.
