A new Mercy For Animals undercover investigation takes you behind the closed doors of one of the country's largest poultry slaughterhouses – House of Raeford Farms, Inc. in Raeford, North Carolina.In January and February of 2007 an MFA investigator worked in the "live-hang" area of the plant (where live birds are snapped into shackles on the slaughter line), secretly filming egregious acts of animal cruelty with a hidden camera. Shocking abuses he witnessed include:

Turkeys with broken wings and legs, bloody open wounds, tumors and other untreated injures being slaughtered for human consumption A worker violently punching live, shackled turkeys for "fun" Employees forcefully shoving their hands into the cloacae (vaginal cavities) of live chickens Turkeys and chickens being thrown across the facility and up into the air Workers ripping the heads off live turkeys Birds being crushed to death under the wheels of trucks Conscious turkeys having their throats slit
