Target: Mark Schiller, CEO of Hain Celestial Group and Plainville Farm President Tom Donovan
Goal: Fire workers accused of kicking, torturing striking, and stomping on live turkeys.
A video published by PETA has reportedly shown vulgar, sadistic treatment of turkeys at a production site in New Oxford, Pennsylvania for Plainville Farms. In the video, workers are apparently shown kicking, torturing striking, and stomping on live turkeys, who are left on the floor to die after being tortured. Workers apparently grab the turkeys by the wings, a delicate spot, and fling them at each other playfully. This seriously twisted behavior must be punished if proven true.
Plainville Farms provides food for markets such as Whole Foods, Publix, and Harris Teeter. On their website, they declare that the alleged actions go against the company’s morals. They claim that the workers will be held accountable, but it is vital we make certain the company follows through. If these accusations are true, then labeling these products as “humanely-raised” is simply not true.
New protocols should be demanded to limit scenarios like this from happening. Acknowledgement is not enough- demand these workers and supervisors are fired if found responsible and that new regulations are implemented that actually guarantee humane treatment of these turkeys in the future.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Mark Schiller and Tom Donovan,
As you may be aware, recent footage of turkey farms by employees at your companies were released. If reports are true, employees entertained themselves by torturing animals. While it is important to acknowledge any wrongdoing, you must also ensure there are consequences for the workers accused of this abuse. Firing supervisors and workers who allegedly allowed this treatment to happen is an important first step. You should not advertise your products as “humanely-raised” or “cruelty-free” if this is not the case either. Your retailers at Publix, Harris Teeter, and Whole Foods should also be formally informed about this incident.
Please ensure investigations against these locations are followed through and the proper consequences are met. While this video reportedly showing the violence at your turkey farms may demonstrate a single scenario, it is your responsibility to look into all your farms at differing locations. Enact protocols that ensure cruelty does not occur. Consumers and non-consumers alike will be awaiting direct action from your companies.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Do the same with those evil BASTARDS!!! I with them the same death.
1000000000000000000000% In cases like this, I wish for serial killers but just for cases like this.
Grown people? What in all the world is the matter with them. Instead to be grateful to have job, they torture those poor animals that can’t nothing for that those people need a job that they get paid for.
I wish that someone come along and do the same to them what they do to those animals
Stomp the mother-fucking employees to death that tortured these turkeys. Video tape it and put it Pay-Per-View. You could make a lot of money showing this video to animal lovers who hate to see any animal tortured. I’d pay a $100.00 to watch it. I’d love to see those scum writhing in pain as they are being stomped to death. It would make my whole year.
I agree with you comment Johnny K.

I guess we think the same way, Bev. I despise all animal abusers.

And IF they get fired, I bet that the CEO will just re-hire them as soon as the PETA exposé has gone away.
They will be on it. Besides they will be replaced. They all deserve the death penalty. BDS Hain celestial group!
