There was a story floating about the other day about a person sabotaging Chicken farms in SC. The sabotaging was very sophisticated and they were able to eventually pin it on an independent chicken farmer who lost his contract with Pilgrim, so armed with his knowledge of chicken handling procedures he disabled all the environmental alarms, and in the case of adults chickens, he drove the heat up to kill them all. In the case of Chicks he turned the heat off and let them freeze to death.
Interestingly, one of the affected farmers indicated it would only take 12 weeks to turn the next cycle of chickens out.
Was that the inspector who was infecting the flocks? Don’t remember what happen with him but he should have been shown the nearest tree.
