When I was growing up, I loved going to South Dakota for Thanksgiving. I ate all the foods that Americans will be eating this Thursday, and I loved it. One of the towns that we drove through was Willmar, Minnesota, home to Willmar Poultry Company, which hatches half of the turkeys bought for food in U.S. supermarkets. 600,000 baby turkeys, or poults, are hatched per week and then sold off to other large scale agribusinesses around the country. The U.S. Humane society report, which can be viewed at their website or read about at UPI.com alleges that Willmar Poultry Company may be in violation of some of the most basic legal and ethical responsibilities with regard to animal welfare and care.
Consider watching the video and decide for yourself whether you find it cruel. It contains strong content and caution should be used when viewing.
