Animal rights group releases “hidden-camera” footage that reveals cruelty in Kentucky poultry farms
SalonOn Monday, an animal rights group released footage from a “hidden-camera investigation,” alleging Kentucky poultry factory farms of cruel treatment of chickens. Footage from the investigation was released in opposition to a so-called anti-animal rights bill recently approved by the Kentucky legislature, the group said. Mercy For Animals — a California-based nonprofit that seeks to “end industrial animal agriculture by constructing a just and sustainable food system” — published a video in which workers are seen kicking, stepping, throwing and stuffing chickens into cages for transport. Mercy For Animals is protesting Senate Bill 16, which aims to criminalize the use of any recording equipment inside concentrated animal feeding operations and commercial food processing and manufacturing plants without consent from the operation's owner.
