The following bullet points according to Peta:
- 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.
I know some people do buy free range organic turkeys and that's a far cry from factory farmed. However, if by chance, anyone is thinking of changing to help the environment in this way by cutting down or cutting out completely their meat consumption, the following video might nudge you over the line.
I do believe everyone has their own path, their own way and I never want to sound preachy. But I just can't stand the propaganda that its Turkey Day. When its Arbor Day we don't cut down a slew of trees in celebration.
Things like this challenge the love in my heart.

oh man..i do buy the free range stuff...and to tell you the truth turkey is not my fave anyway. I would much rather have ham (LOL). I usually go to the inlaws whos idea of vegetables is potatoes. Normally I make side dishes but I may not have time this year. Somehow I will skip the turkey without being overt and without starving!!
