In a July 22-dated letter to the plant, copied to Yum Brands and forwarded to The Associated Press, PETA says its investigator also obtained eyewitness testimony about employees "ripping birds' beaks off, spray painting their faces, twisting their heads off, spitting tobacco into their mouths and eyes, and breaking them in half ? all while the birds are still alive."

that is just horrible, and i hope that those people are dealt with accordingly ... as in them being slammed into walls, ripping their mouth and noses off, then twisting their heads off. that is just ridiculous. we already raise these animals for food purposes only, so when their time is up they should be dealt with humanely and nothing less.

i hope those people burn in hell.

One of the rare times PETA isn't overreacting. Man, someone needs to get the employees who were doing this a good therapist. And a severe beating with a tire iron.

no but if i did, i didnt kill them by slamming them into walls, ripping their faces off, then twisting their neck off. it would have been instant death, as it normally is with the chickens in these plants.

oh the noes!!!!

Think of the chickens!

Why does this not concern me in the least.....they're food for crying out loud.

And its not like this behavior is SOP, just a few loonies working.

How do you know? You could have stepped on half of one, and he writhed in agony for hours. What about swatting flies, or crushing mosquitos? I'm just trying to find at what size killing a living creature becomes par for the course and ok.

PETA usually pisses me off but there's something so wrong with torturing animals, even if we are going to eat them. It's our nature to eat meat but ripping beaks off of living things is perverse and gives us meat eaters a bad name!

Yeah, so they don't have the compassion and empathy for other living beings like us non-food is supposed to.

Looks like we're alone on this one MacBaine. :(

Eh.. I'll just sit the rest out like I do every argument like this.
