| Workers Almost Caught Choking the Chicken |
| 2004-07-22 |
| Poultry processor Pilgrim's Pride said Wednesday it fired 11 employees at its Moorfield, West Virginia, facility after a video from animal rights group PETA showed cruelty to chickens. The company said it dismissed one superintendent, one supervisor, one foreman and eight hourly employees following an investigation it began on Tuesday after People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) released the video. The tape showed workers at a West Virginia Pilgrim's Pride plant ripping off birds' beaks, spitting tobacco into their mouths and eyes and kicking live chickens. The company supplies KFC, the fast-food chicken chain owned by Yum Brands Inc. The Pittsburgh, Texas-based company also said it has placed monitors at the plant. Kind of makes me glad I never voluntarily purchase KFC. |
