The Way Chickens Are Killed Is Hell On Earth ... And Legal

UNDERCOVER VIDEO: The Way Chickens Are Killed Is Hell On Earth

The way chickens are slaughtered on factory farms is excruciating — and it's also totally legal.

A new video shot by an undercover investigator at a supplier to Gordon Food Service, the largest private foodservice distributor in North America, has revealed just what life is really like for chickens in the factory farming system. The video, released by the group Mercy for Animals, shows injured chickens being slammed onto hooks for slaughter, birds being scalded alive and even a worker attempting to suffocate a chicken with his hands.
