Undercover footage shows chickens being kicked and impaled at a farm that reportedly supplies Tyson Foods

COK has recorded a number of similarly shocking undercover videos at farms, slaughterhouses, and other meat production companies. In 2012, the US Department of Agriculture shut down a California slaughterhouse after COK released a video showing cows being abused.
