I am sure most of you reacted with horror as you learned about the animal abuse reports last month at Pilgrim's Pride chicken processing plant. I certainly did.
Abusive acts are often the result of a person trying to gain power where they feel powerless.
I have to wonder if the plant workers in question feel powerless in their jobs or in their personal lives. Are they dissatisfied with their paychecks? Do they understand the company policies on humane animal treatment? Are they properly supervised?
