A man has been decapitated in a horrific accident at a chicken processing factory in Melbourne, Australia.
Mr Sarel Singh, 34, was killed instantly when he was sucked into a machine and decapitated in an incident that has now placed the entire poultry processing industry under review.
The factory was already under investigation over claims of unlawful and unethical treatment of its majority migrant workforce, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Lateline programme reported.
Mr Singh's brother, Harry, said that Sarel had migrated from India four years ago 'in the hope of finding a better life in Australia'.
But Sarel had told his brother, who lives in India, that his job at the Melbourne factory was 'hell' and he was planning to return home.
'He used to say that life working at that place was like hell.
'He said it's a very hard job and he was tired of it.
'But due to the burden of the loans and debts over here and in Australia too, he had to work over there and he was struggling hard.'

Years ago the media was all over the working conditions in poultry processing plants in the US, specifically the South. Lots of missing fingers & hands, poor working conditions etc. Don’t remember hearing about missing heads.
I understand the fingers. Not sure how he managed to lose his head.
The taliban would pay an arm and a leg for this machine.
well obviously the chicken industry should be shut down and everyone can eat little green crackers

“Mr Singh’s brother, Harry, said that Sarel had migrated from India four years ago ‘in the hope of finding a better life in Australia’. “
At least they didn’t write he had migrated to Australia to get ahead in life. I’d expect it from today’s media.
Mr Sarel Singh - Tastes just like chicken!
I suppose they are going to need more volunteers to clean up after this guy's clean-up job.
I wouldn't miss it a whit. I hates chicken with a passion.
You are right. This thread is disheartening. I wonder how many of these people claim to be Christians.
God Bless this man and his family.
Making light of an industrial accident is not good Freeper decorum. Karma can be a B.
Heads will roll.
MMmmmm, little green crackers topped with crunchy fried toenail.
I agree. This thread will probably be pulled.
