The Compassion Over Killing (COK) investigator behind the haunting video exposing Amick Farms’ high-speed slaughter horrors is telling all in an EXCLUSIVE interview for DC’s ABC7: Watch today! Then help keep our investigators’ cameras rolling through a generous donation to our crucial undercover work!

COK’s investigation revealed Amick’s high-speed house of horrors, including birds being punched, shoved, and thrown down the recklessly 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.

In the exclusive ABC interview, “Jordan” adds about the high-pressure pace: “I documented employees throwing the birds off the conveyor belt. I saw one bird thrown so hard, [the bird] ricocheted off the belt.”

In response to COK’s video, Amick Farms CEO Ben Harrison admitted that the footage shows “clear violations of [their] animal welfare policies and [their] company values.” Yet Amick 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.

The Guardian recently reported on the grueling conditions for workers in the dangerously fast-paced poultry industry: They are often denied bathroom breaks by supervisors—sometimes to the point of urinating on themselves while on the line. Yet instead of offering these workers—and the animals whose lives are literally on the line—bare minimum protections, the USDA is caving to the profit-driven chicken industry by increasing kill speeds.

COK’s investigations are shining a bright light on the gruesome suffering behind factory farm and slaughterhouse walls—and helping end some of the worst atrocities to animals, workers, and consumers alike. But we can’t do it without you!
