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.

PETA’S influence needs to be absolutely limited to PETS period, not “livestock”. They are the ones behind the whole VEGAN movement and the “green” movement to make government to force us to all stop eating meat. It is not about the environment, it is all lies provoked from PETA. LIVESTOCK FOR FOOD ARE NOT PETS.

I’m sorry, but this is not a reason to boycott Butterball.

If the finger and fake humping (not real sex) was it, I don’t see how this affects the birds or Butterball. Is it inappropriate or gross? Yes, but so shoving thermometers into the butt of every animal to check its temperature.

They are just sexually abusing and torturing the turkeys that Americans won’t sexually abuse and torture.

RE: Who put the butter in the Butterball?


Betty Botter’s Butter🧈

Betty Botter bought a bit of butter.
“But,” she said, “the butter’s bitter.
If I put it in my batter,
it will make my batter bitter.
But, a bit of better butter
will make my batter better.”
So, she bought a bit of butter,
better than her bitter butter.
And she put it in her batter. And the batter was not bitter.

Open border cheap labor express.

At the same time it’s almost 20 years old and PETA who are not trustworthy fanatics.

So many times, more than ever, I think about how free will allows evil people time to do more evil. Which they do.

RE: animal life....

Yipes.

I never read (or saw) Portnoy’s Complaint by Philip Roth but saw a reference to creepy actions with a raw piece of liver.
A turnoff.

This was almost twenty years ago.

What’s wrong with people? It’s not like this was last week.

NOBODY can top that! That’s a new record for concise, eloquent satire.

Sometimes I’m glad Canadian Thanksgiving is on the second Monday in October and I don’t have to have turkey today with thoughts of this in my head. Granted Christmas is now less than a month away!

I wonder if the WKRP episode upsets them.
