'Throw 'Em, I'll Hit 'Em'
 

[quote:7e1e2]Two workers at a Bernard Matthews plant who played baseball with live turkeys have been sentenced to community service.

Daniel Palmer, 27, and Neil Allen, 30, both of Dereham, Norfolk, were secretly filmed hitting birds with a pole.

Both admitted ill treatment and were ordered to carry out 200 hours community service.

Their lawyer told magistrates in Norwich that the pair - who were turkey catchers who no longer work for Bernard Matthews - were influenced by "peer pressure" and part of a "culture" at the plant in Haveringland, Norfolk.

An RSPCA inspector said it was the worst case of cruelty to farm animals he had heard of and added that the poultry industry was under pressure to improve welfare standards.


The organisation, which secretly filmed the abuse during an investigation into bird welfare, said people would be "horrified" by the reality of factory farming.

Prosecutor Jonathan Eales said: "He (the investigator) heard Allen say 'you throw them and I'll hit them'.

"They were using poles which they had been using to help them round up the turkeys and they were using them like a baseball bat."

At least three turkeys were abused but their carcasses were not recovered.

A vet who saw the footage said it was the "most hideous and blatant" abuse he had seen in 25 years, said Mr Eales.

Simon Nicholls, defending, said both men were of previous good character and full of "remorse".

There have now been calls for a government minister into the industry.

Bernard Matthews said it would make a statement later. A spokesman said the company was committed to the "highest standards" of animal welfare.[/quote:7e1e2]

That's pretty wrong doing stuff like that. I always wonder what kind of people could harm animals...I think those people are far more likely to commit violent crimes.

Chavs. I hope they get gored by a bull.

No one remembers the WKRP Turkey Drop?

annoy:

I do rock:

I could go a nice turkey sandwich right now....

sgt stakem?





: com service is an insult.

I think the show predates me. But the clip posted was funny.

And you wonder how your turkey gets so juicy and ungodly delicious... Pretenderised.

yeah, remorse at being caught....fucking low-life arseholes

One thing that absolutley sickens me, is the seals that get clubbed. I mean talk about one of those most brutal things on this planet. Anyone who deos that should be clubbed themselves.

welcome to fast food companies and how they treat their foodstock.

i have to admit..thats looks a little entertaining

you should look into the seal hunt, facts may change your view. You are listening to the PETA crap that the media loves. I dont want to confuse all the PETArds out there with facts

I dont get it?

Whats the benefits? Seal meat or because they eat cod? I mean those are the only facts of they they are killed that i found. But if people knew anything, they would realize that Seals also prey on fish that eat cod.

club black people, not seals loney:

You realize they don't club seals anymore, right? PETA is all up in arms over video shot 20 years ago.

They shoot the fuckers now.

I think they still club them too. Was just looking it up online. But i dont live in Canada, so i have no idea. Still think its fucked.

I mean im by no means an animal activist or any shit, i just have respect for animals enough to not kill them (unless a situation dictates). Liek earlier on my way home from class i hit a bird, i was afraid he had ruined the paint on my front bumper, all that happened was a few feathers in the grill.

Let's go clubbin'

I assure you Newfoundland sealers don't club seals to kill them anymore. They use rifles.

People only care about the seals because they're cute. Fucking hippocrites.

youre cruel to animals.

People should care about all animals...though if you're killing them feed the entire human population...not just for at home use...go for it.

i care about living things ( minus humans ).

how can u look at those innocent eyes looking up at u and say/do something like that,
anyway there's no real proof that black people are responsible for the depletion of fish stocks... annoy:

That's one more reason to add to my list of "why i hate humanity in general"...

Fucking inconsiderate, insensitive and ultimately primitive scum.
