45 Days The Life and Death of a Broiler Chicken.

	45 Days The Life and Death of a Broiler Chicken. WARNING! Some people may find this disturbing upsetting In just a single year in the United States, ten billion land animals are slaughtered for us to have meat, milk, and eggs. Four out of every five of those animals killed are chickens raised for meat, called "broilers" by the industry. A total of eight billion birds every year, approximately one million every hour. The number of broiler chickens killed for food is almost beyond comprehension. These birds are exploited in greater numbers than any other animal on the planet. Yet, they have virtually no legal protection whatsoever from abuses that would horrify nearly anyone, were they not kept hidden behind the walls of factory farms and slaughter plants. Over two months, COK investigators gathered video and photographic evidence of systematic abuse on factory farms and in slaughter plants across the United States, including two of the largest poultry producers, Tyson and Perdue. Our footage documents the week-by-week living and dying conditions for these animals who reach slaughter weight after only 45 days. The photos and video clips clearly depict the egregious abuses inflicted on "meat" chickens—abuses so terrible that they would be grounds for animal cruelty charges if forced on dogs and cats.
