By now, you’ve probably seen at least one hidden-camera video exposing the daily horrors animals face before they are killed for burgers, nuggets, and hot dogs. But you’ve probably never seen anything like this before.





A powerful new video recently released by the Israeli group Anonymous for Animal Rights is filmed from the point of view of baby chicks “processed” at a hatchery before being shipped off to factory farms across the country.





Cameras placed on the conveyor belt and other spots along the production line reveal the terrifying first moments in the lives of the recently born hatchlings—at their eye level.

Sadly, undercover investigations by Mercy For Animals at hatcheries in the United States and Canada have revealed similar atrocities. At HyLine Hatchery , the largest hatchery for egg-laying breed chickens in the world, we documented day-old chicks thrown, mutilated without painkillers, and ground up alive in giant macerating machines.





At a Butterball turkey hatchery in North Carolina, we caught workers cutting and burning off the sensitive toes and beaks of birds without any painkillers, callously throwing and dropping fragile animals, and tossing sick or injured turkeys into a pit to be ground up alive.





In August, Canada’s Hybrid Turkeys—the world’s largest primary turkey breeder—was convicted of animal cruelty following the release of hidden-camera video footage showing workers kicking and throwing turkeys, crushing their spines with bolt cutters, and viciously beating them with shovels and metal rods.
