Butterball Facing Animal Abuse Allegations Just In Time For Thanksgiving
Another Thanksgiving, another controversy starring its big bird, the turkey. An animal advocacy group is leveling claims at Butterball again, accusing the turkey-centric company of abusing and neglecting birds at some of its locations. Tis the season, after all, and no one wants their main course to come from an unhappy turkey.

What we need now are BUTTERBALL CHICKENS> Love it.
It would be cruel to neglect my family on Thanksgiving and not have turkey. Matter of fact, I have two Butterball turkeys in the fridge now ready to be deep fried for Thanksgiving dinner.
I think the Mercy for Animals people should get together with the Waterkeeper Alliance bunch and eat crow.
I'm going to humanely inject my Butterball with creole butter and then quickly and with compassion fry it to a beautiful golden brown.
Those people need to get a life!
Oh, so now we worry about the turkey feelings, right? Maybe we need to send this Mercy for Animals to places like Libya and Afganistan to investigate there.
How many times are the turkeys being killed before reading them their rights?
dittos 12:13. away with peta and mercy for animals. we want turkey, we want turkey, we want turkey...yea turkey.
Butterball turkeys are gross just in the amount of antibiotics and other crap pumped in them, which should be way more worrisome than this story.
Besides the antibiotics, growth hormones (which do cause those "sleeping" and dormant cancer cells everyone has in their bodies to spring wide awake and eventually kill you) and whatever that 12% solution is that's injected into these turkeys they aren't fit for a dog to eat.
If at all possible buy a fresh turkey right off the farm from a local farmer.
I use an oyster and popcorn stuffing in my butterball turkey. You know when the bird is done when the a$$ blows off it.

I think your foil hat is loose.
Harris Teeter sells Plainville Farms turkeys-minimally processed and no artificial ingredients. Plainsville has a website.
