The group held a press conference Thursday morning in Baltimore calling on Perdue to adopt animal welfare policies. Mercy for Animals wants the company to change how it breeds and slaughters chickens, and give them more room and access to natural light.
"There's really no difference between cruelty to a chicken and cruelty to a cat or a dog. Farm animals feel pain in the same way and to the same degree to the dogs and cats with whom most of us share our homes," said Bruce Friedrich, with Mercy for Animals.
The organization gave its video to the Richmond County Sheriff's Office in North Carolina, and said the worker involved was charged.

Animal welfare? what's next animal EBT cards too?
LOL you have the right comment!!! They are going to end up slaughtered and deep fried to a golden brown....not on a pillow at the foot of the bed. Get real folks.
Most of the employees are on human welfare.
Dear Mercy for Animals,
Kindly piss off.

One day a dairy farmer won't be able to slap a cow on the rear end to guide it into the milking stall.
Another radical progressive attempt to bring down a business and kill more jobs.
I have some chickens myself. But I would like to see the horrendously cruel halal (and kosher) methods of slaughter banned, or at least discontinued by Perdue and other processors.
