Spread your own wings for birds and join the thousands flocking from slaughterhouse cruelty by taking our quick & easy pledge TODAY!
COK’s investigation shines a light on Amick’s high-speed house of horrors, revealing 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 response, Amick Farms CEO Ben Harrison admitted that the footage showed “clear violations of [their] animal welfare policies.” But 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.
And the federal agency is plowing ahead with plans to grant waivers allowing even more slaughterhouses to increase their line speeds, endangering millions of animals, workers, and consumers nationwide.
So COK has deployed new geofencing ads around the USDA’s HQ in Washington, DC, urging the agency to halt these high-speed horrors once and for all.
