CTV W5 undercover investigation reveals cruel treatment of turkeys, completely legal. However, CTV W5 has obtained exclusive undercover footage taken by Mercy for Animals of a turkey slaughter plant in Abbotsford, B.C., and the images are difficult to watch. Mercy for Animals, an international organization dedicated to preventing cruelty to farm animals, sent in an undercover “whistleblower” who worked at the Sofina Foods plant for three weeks. “Our whistleblower simply applied for jobs and he literally took the first job that hired him,” Krista Hiddema, Canadian vice-president of Mercy for Animals, told W5. Video taken by an undercover whistleblower shows turkeys on the live hang line on the way to the scalding tank at a slaughter plant in Abbotsford, B.C.
