Poultry producer Foster Farms has launched a comprehensive investigation into its Fresno, CA facilities after an animal rights group published an online video depicted workers ripping out feathers of live birds, throwing birds and slamming chickens into metal shackles.
The video, shot by Mercy For Animals, is reported by the group to have been shot between April and June at a Foster Farms slaughterhouse in Fresno and nearby farms, according to the Associated Press.
