Gearing up for Thanksgiving, turkey farmers in West Virginia are busy stomping on heads and twisting necks for the holiday rush. PETA today released video from an undercover investigation that shows workers crushing the heads of turkeys and twisting their necks to kill them for processing.

The perpetrators, Aviagen, say they “condemn the abuse” and will punish those involved.

Something tells me these people cannot be taken at their word. Their website lists their company motto as "Innovation Lives On." I didn't realize that crushing the skull of a living being was considered innovative.

Be sure to send the workers at Aviagen some holiday cheer of your own by letting them know you saw what they did and you're not going to let it happen anymore (link).
