Graphic video

Butterball is facing calls for a boycott just days before Thanksgiving after sickening footage of poultry workers allegedly sexually abusing and torturing its turkeys resurfaced on social media.

The uproar unfolded after People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) activists posted a decades-old clip online over the weekend that allegedly showed the company’s employees abusing live turkeys at a plant in Ozark, Arkansas.

The graphic footage, which soon went viral, was captured during an undercover probe in 2006 in which workers were filmed bashing the birds against steel cages and stomping on their heads, the animal rights group claimed.

A PETA undercover investigator alleged in the clip that he caught one worker inserting his finger into a turkey’s vagina for “fun” — while another employee apparently “humped” a bird while it was shackled.

It’s ok. Once the center of the turkey has reached 169 degrees Celsius, everything has been made sterile.

So PETA is in favor of criminalizing bestiality?

That’s about 336 degrees Fahrenheit. I think the breast meat would be a little dry.

Allrecipes.com says 325F.
Other instructions I have read say 169C in the center, that you would have measured with a thermometer.

...a turkey’s vagina...

Cloaca, not vagina. Avian plumbing is quite different from mammalian plumbing.

Good catch! It should have been 169 degrees Kelvin!

(No wonder my turkeys never turn out well!)

Glad I am not fond of turkey.

Are you sure those turkeys aren’t democrat women?

Animal rights groups have been infamous for staging these kinds of events . Did PETA do this, then film it? That would be my guess.

More like heat the oven to 325 F and cook the turkey to an internal temperature of 165 F, which is what the instructions that came with our turkey said.

Anyway, no point arguing. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

You are probably correct on this.

Happy Thanksgiving to you as well.

I just took a sharp knife to a Butterball turkey. Glad Peta wasn’t around to see what I did to the bird - sliced off a leg, tore off its wings, and then slicing thin slivers of flesh off of it’s torso.

Careful you don’t break a tooth, because 169 K is about -155 F.
