VICTORY! The USDA has rejected the cruel high-speed slaughter of chickens. Read more about this decision here. Thank you for adding your voice to stop the cruelty!
Nearly 1 million chickens and turkeys are painfully boiled alive at slaughterhouses throughout the United States. And if the chicken industry gets its way, that number is set to go much higher. We must not let them torture even more birds for profit!
The National Chicken Council — a group representing the chicken industry — has petitioned the USDA to let poultry companies speed up their processing lines, making it impossible to kill the birds in an even remotely humane way.
Currently, 140 chickens and 45 turkeys can be slaughtered per minute — and that’s already far too fast, which is why the birds are so often boiled alive in the cruel slaughter process, which involves shackling conscious birds upside-down to a conveyor belt, dipping them in electrified water to “stun” them, running a blade through the neck to behead them, and then plunging the birds into scalding water.
If the proposal goes through, chicken manufacturers may request a waiver to speed up this gruesome line as fast as they want, just so they can make more profits.
Moving so fast, workers will be more prone to improperly securing the birds in their shackles, causing the blade to miss and the birds to be scalded alive.
Workers will also suffer; already, an average of one Tyson worker per month faces amputation from an on-the-job injury.
Don’t let the chicken industry torture even more birds in the name of profit. Sign this petition now to tell the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service to reject their petition, and abandon any plans to allow high-speed slaughter of chickens.
Please do the right thing. We are in the 21st century and barbarism and suffering need not be part of our food supply experience. These living beings are giving up their lives and liberty to make “nuggets” and “tenders” for overfed people primarily unconscious of how and where their food comes from. For this sacrifice, the very least we can do for these innocents is make their last moments as pain- and trauma-free as possible. Thank you for considering this urgent request from your highest ethical standards.
Please eat something else, WE DONT NEED TO EAT ANIMALS its time for change
This evil must be stopped!

HOW ANY PERSON WITH A CONSCIENCE LET THIS HAPPEN TO INNOCENT GENTLE BIRDS LIKE CHICKENS, IS BEYOND BELIEF. CHICKENS FEEL PAIN JUST LIKE PEOPLE AND IT BREAKS MY HEART TO THINK THAT SO MANY MILLIONS ARE KILLED IN SUCH A HEARTLESS, BARBARIC WAY EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR. I HOPE PEOPLE CAN CHANGE THEIR ATTITUDE TOWARDS ANIMALS SOON, BE KINDER AND COMPASSIONATE AND THESE CRUEL FACTORY FARMS WILL CLOSE DOWN FOR GOOD.
This is evil ? These poor checking suffering horrendous painful fearful death at the hands of evil heartless cruel bastards

eliminate this process, chose to stop eating meat, then start asking others to do the same
To bad this couldn’t be the opposite for a change. I’m sick and tired of hearing about the way people abuse dogs, cats, chickens and a lot of other animals. For a change i would like to read what animals do to the humans that are so abusive. Lets hear about the chicken boiling the abusers alive. the animals If they have to eat animals they could at least kiil them in a humane way. Not boil them alive.
agreed, but nothing will happen if people don’t do more than just leave comments on websites

Disgraceful and so cruel! What fear and stress they must go through.
Thank you for having all of these amazing petitions. Animals are precious beings and they are being tortured by the millions and they need us to be their voice. When we sit by and do nothing we contribute to these terrible things continuing to happen to them.

Stop these practices!! It’s sick and far beyond kindness and compassion
We need to teach compassion to children
Sick humans
There are many better ways than boiling an animal alive! This is just profit greedy cruelty!
By being vegan, we’re refusing to contribute to this insane cruelty any longer. Be vegan everyone, do it well and be healthy.
What a gluttony society we live in. I’m so glad I’m vegetation. Nevertheless this is so mass produced and very cruel. These intelligent chickens definitely feel pain alongside joy and happiness, all animals do. You only have to witness their body language to realise this. All factory farmed animals have a degrading short life and to think that more fast conveyer belt cruelty is about to happen is very sad and so greedy of the profiteer.
I do not think that neighter Fordisme nor Tailorisme two mannagement theories at the basis of automated effecient production meant anything like this to be the result of their inventions!
If there comes a agreement for this to fasten the pace of the process or in general if there will be no punishment for management lowering costs on the back of their employees and all animals already being tortures for this very reason, than what will bevome of us. You would expect with all humankind yet invented, the ethics we’ve established, the education we foresee that we would not keep financing these businesses. PEOPLE want these type of companies to have an incentive to change there crazy way of thinking: 1. Give all of them a pet to make them realise how they are having as much right to live as we do. And if we consider animals especially bread, they are no less animal so they should not be seen as solely products, they live.
2. Let these managers visit the premisses every month, let them respect their employees, give them the right motivators to enhance the excecution of the job.
3. SORRY BUT IT IS A FACT, EVERYBODY WHO HAS THE MONEY, YES YOU DO… EAT MEAT THAT WAS RESPOSIBLY OFFERED, DON’T THINK YOU HAVE TO EAT MEAT EVERY DAY, IF WE STOP BYING, THAN THEY STOP SEEING THEIR EMPLOYEES AND BIRDS (but all the other animals that we eat as wel) LIKE BURDENS & HAVE RESECT TOWARDS THEM.
I m sorry for my writing, I have a really bussy day but I had to wrote a message to all of you because working together will bring results!
Wkr.
So sad need to stop killing animal
DO NOT ALLOW THIS INHUMANE SLAUGHTER LINE TO BE SPED UP. IT IS ANIMAL ABUSE PLAIN AND SIMPLE. IT IS ANIMAL ABUSE AS IT STANDS PRESENTLY AT THIS MOMENT. THESE CHICKENS SUFFER TERRIBLY FOR THE SAKE OF A BUCK. SHAMEFUL
Do not allow this inhumane slaughter line to be sped up. This is animal abuse plain and simple. It’s abuse as it stand presently at thus moment. SHAMEFUL
People who eat meat that requires the pain and suffering of an innocent animal should be required to at least watch a video of that pain and suffering before eating that meat.
How bloody barbaric can you get, what is wrong with the human race, people that do this should be done for animal cruelty, and put out of business.
As long as the public CHOOSES to eat CORPSES due to being BRAINWASHED that it is necessary for good health, there will be no end to the cruelty. Furthermore we need to really think deeply about the whole practise of flesh eating and acknowledge how disgusting it is as a system and industry and as a BLOOD SACRIFICE RITUAL – which IT IS. People don’t understand that this is part of a larger nefarious plan and that the way we live our lives demonstrates whether we are part of the solution or part of the problem.
Ignorance cannot be an excuse, we KNOW that when we order a steak, SOMEONE was murdered and probably in a very violent and hateful manner. Slaughter animals, just like ALL animals, are really just like little children and WE ARE THEIR ADULTS.
We make a big fuss about Asian people violently murdering cats and dogs, boiling them alive etc., for food. HOW IS THIS ANY DIFFERENT? What about force feeding geese to make pate, or taking calves from their mothers for the dairy products and slaughtering the babies for veal. The mothers cry for days, the babies cry till they are silenced forever. HOW ARE THESE ANY DIFFERENT? THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS IS TO STOP THE DEMAND AND THIS IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EVERY HUMAN BEING WHO VOTES YES WITH THEIR DOLLARS AT THE STORES.
WHAT IS THE DAMN PROBLEM TO GO VEGAN – I ASK YOU WITH TEARS IN MY EYES ???????????????
You are so right with what you say, its cruel and barbaric, I hate the thought of what happens to animals and the way they are treated, it sickens me to think that people are capable of this sort of treatment towards another living being , regardless of what sort of animal it might be, these are defenceless things that only want looking after and be free to do what they should be doing having a care free happy life, they have every right to be here and share our world, I hope one day that this will end and nothing will have to suffer for the sake of something to eat, after all there are other things that are better for you, there are a lot of people out there that are like you , Colette.
This evil heathen company is SICKENING and should be SLOWING DOWN the process! THANK YOU FOR PUSHING ME OVER THE EDGE TO GO VEGAN which my many followers will also do as I encourage them with delicious recipes and ideas. Those who continue to eat meat will BOYCOTT CRUELTY FOOD.
Do ppl just sit around Nd think of more ways to be cruel to animals. Because it truly seems that is what happsns..look around you..
How grotesque are human actions toward other animals! High speed slaughter !!!!! This is Nazi behavior!
One more reason to become or remain a vegetarian. (See the Frederick Wiseman documentary, “Meat,” to get a better sense of what goes on in slaughterhouses.)
WONT BUY CHICKEN FROM COMPANIES THAT DO THIS! WILL BOYCOTT BASTARDS
Anyone that thinks this is ok or can even think about it being ok….. Should be lined up and thrown in a tub of boiling water and suffer tremendously until they take their last breath. What the Fuck is wrong with society, what the fuck is wrong with people…. One word “EVIL”. Don’t people realize that animals of all kinds feel the same pain we do, bleed the same blood we do, breathe the same air that we do…. who the Heck are we to think we can play God. Humans SUCK!!!! Every human that thinks killing animals is ok should experience their torture first. I can bet you that Every human would be a Vegetarian. It’s BARBARIC…. I am in a Rage & My heart is Broken over this this.
This rapid kill rate of chickens and turkeys absolutely makes me sick. My heart hurts for the chickens and for the workers forced to kill and boil alive these sentient fowl that they risk amputation or have been maimed. Please, have a heart, I hate thinking about all of this cruelty. I am vegan but, I still don’t want a rapid kill rate of these beautiful chickens. I love animals so much that I can’t eat them and my family can’t either. Please stop all of this immoral, reprehensible and deplorable treatment at Tyson.
