More cruelty reported at Tyson Farms

http://vegnews.com/articles/page.do?pageId=7893&catId=1

Look what we have here, another investigation proving animal cruelty is rampant within this company. Tyson is a supplier of poultry for restaurants like KFC and McDonalds in the U.S. so it is quite surprising to me being that they are so well known that they would repeatedly be caught neglecting and abusing their animals. With that being said, this also demonstrates how lackluster the governments animal protection / cruelty laws are that they've been busted for this more than once and nothing has changed.

First of all, these large chain restaurants need to take a stand against animal cruelty and cut ties with Tyson Farms. It's a well known fact that factory farmed animals generally live in abhorrent conditions during their short lives but when you mix in physical abuse and neglect, there's a serious problem. By continuing to receive their poultry these companies are condoning these actions. Being that they are large corporations, their taking a stand would be monumental in demonstrating support for better animal treatment.

Secondly, the government needs to take a serious look at revamping their standards for animal treatment as well as appropriate punishment for obvious abuse and neglect. Tyson Farms has been repeatedly busted for animal cruelty yet they continue to operate without any repercussions. It's time to for the higher ups to listen to the people and crack the whip on animal cruelty. Appropriate punishment here is demanding better standards and enforcing them, fining their company for every instance of animal abuse, neglect, or torture, and shutting them down if they don't cooperate. Money makes the world go round but more people are speaking out against animal abuse and it's time for the government to hear our cries and fix these problems.

Tyson Farms has gotten away with this long enough. Let's take a stand here and demand better conditions! I challenge McDonalds and KFC to do the right thing and take a stand against this type of abuse. Their voices are needed in this situation, stop worrying about money for once and worry about the countless lives lost at the hands of your suppliers!

BOYCOTT TYSON FARMS!
