Viva!USA spent over a year videotaping conditions of animals kept at Foster Farms locations around California. When we began our research and investigation of the “broiler chicken” industry (which raises chickens for meat), we certainly expected to find animals in poor conditions, but what we found was much worse than we could have imagined. Investigators saw giant, filthy sheds with tens of thousands of birds packed together. The sheer number of animals was truly overwhelming. Some facilities had more than two dozen sheds filled with chickens whose bodies were bred to be so large many were unable to even support their own weight. The smell of ammonia from the waste produced by these thousands of animals was absolutely overpowering.
Far more chickens are killed for human consumption than any other land animal, so the welfare of these animals is especially important since over 8 billion of them are subjected to conditions similar to what we found in our investigations. http://www.vivausa.org/campaigns/chickens/media.html
Has to be Kentucky as in KFC.
