Some turkeys smothered themselves to death. They were crammed into cages on a truck, where they\u2019d have to stay for at least 12 hours, without food or water, en route to a slaughterhouse in Ohio.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\n

PETA:<\/strong> ‘In November 2018 at Good Shepherd Poultry Ranch in Kansas workers and volunteers shoved 1,400 so-called \u201cheritage\u201d and \u201chappy\u201d turkeys into filthy cages on a truck bound for a slaughterhouse… One turkey was gasping for air. As she took her final breaths, workers said that she was \u201csick,\u201d \u201cnot right,\u201d and lame and that she had a broken leg. A supervisor pronounced her \u201cdead,\u201d but the bird flapped her wings vigorously. Workers laughed after one of them left her on the ground to die. Another turkey had lost her left eyeball. A worker who was notified of this joked that she was a \u201cpirate”… Frank R. Reese Jr., who owns and operates Good Shepherd Poultry Ranch, admitted that \u201cwe herded the turkeys\u201d and they \u201csmothered themselves to death”… They were crammed into cages on a truck, where they\u2019d have to stay for at least 12 hours\u2014without food or water\u2014en route to a slaughterhouse in Ohio.<\/em><\/p>\n

One of Reese\u2019s contract farmers noted that the turkeys \u201ccan\u2019t move their wings [or] legs. \u2026 The big turkeys are pretty crammed in”… According to one of his helpers, Reese depends on \u201crich, dumb people in New York\u201d to \u201cpay $300\u201d for one of these turkeys, whose bodies are sold for hundreds of dollars by Heritage Foods USA and served in high-priced restaurants in New York and elsewhere. Heritage Foods boasts that it saves \u201cendangered species of livestock from extinction\u201d and that \u201cthe only way to save these animals is to eat them”… Equally sickening is Reese\u2019s claim that the \u201cGood Shepherd\u201d in his farm\u2019s name is \u201ca statement of my faith, my philosophy and my approach to farming.\u201d As the Bible teaches, true good shepherds lay down their lives for those in their care\u2014they don\u2019t ship others off so that their throats can be slit for cash’.<\/em> SOURCE…<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
