Mercy for Animals
BASTARDI! Ma come è possibile cadere così in basso? Come si può arrivare a un livello tale di bestialità? L'avidità nel mondo dei fast food è cosa nota (al riguardo, consigliata anche la visione di Fast Food Nation), ma trattare in questo modo gli animali è terrificante. Il video lascia senza fiato, con lacrime ardenti di rabbia che faticano ad uscire e tanta voglia di diventare vegetariani, anzi... visto che si parla di uova, sarebbe meglio vegani. Stasera sarà più dura guardare negli occhi il mio coniglio, vorrei accarezzare uno ad uno quei pulcini buttati agonizzanti nei sacchetti di plastica. Okkio al video, è davvero forte, prima di guardarlo... pensateci bene. Bye, Rex
Fornitore di McDonald’s tortura i polli: video choc nel web
Un video choc realizzato dall’organizzazione “Mercy for animals”, Pietà per gli animali, mostra gli atroci maltrattamenti di alcuni dipendenti di un fornitore di McDonald’s ai polli. Gli animali vengono stipati in strette gabbie, infilati nelle tasche dei dipendenti, legati ad una corda e fatti roteare in aria e ancora bruciati vivi. Crudeltà gratuite verso polli e pulcini che il gigante statunitense McDonald’s ha condannato, interrompendo i rapporti con il fornitore delle uova per i suoi McMuffin.
McDonald’s ha dichiarato in un comunicato che “il comportamento mostrato in questo video è scioccante e inaccettabile e McDonald vuole assicurare ai nostri clienti un trattamento diverso agli animali. Prendiamo questa responsabilità, così come la fiducia dei nostri clienti, molto sul serio”.
L’allevamento ha attivato un’indagine interna e i 4 dipendenti responsabili delle atrocità contro gli animali sono stati licenziati. Nathan Runkle, direttore di Mercy for Animals, ha dichiarato: “Purtroppo, la maggior parte degli abusi che abbiamo identificato sono perfettamente legali”.
Di seguito il video delle crudeltà verso i polli dell’allevamento, la visione è sconsigliata ad un pubblico sensibile.

A new Mercy For Animals undercover investigation into a McDonald's egg supplier exposes the fast-food giant's secret ingredient: shocking cruelty to animals.
Hidden-camera footage taken at Sparboe Egg Farm facilities in Iowa, Minnesota and Colorado reveals:
* Hens crammed into filthy wire cages with less space for each bird than a standard-sized sheet of paper to live her entire miserable life, unable to fully stretch her wings or engage in most other natural behaviors
* Workers burning off the beaks of young chicks without any painkillers and callously throwing them into cages, some missing the cage doors and hitting the floor
* Rotted hens, decomposed beyond recognition as birds, left in cages with hens still laying eggs for human consumption
* A worker tormenting a bird by swinging her around in the air while her legs were caught in a grabbing device - violence described as "torture" by another worker
* Chicks trapped and mangled in cage wire - others suffering from open wounds and torn beaks
* Live chicks thrown into plastic bags to be suffocated
Common sense tells us that animals should be given at a minimum the freedom to walk, stretch their limbs, turn around and engage in natural behaviors. Yet, this McDonald's supplier deprives hens of even
these most basic freedoms.
Barren battery cages are so cruel that the entire European Union and the states of California and Michigan have banned their use. Additionally, leading food retailers, such as Whole Foods, Hellmann's, and Wolfgang Puck, and hundreds of colleges and universities refuse to use or sell eggs from hens subjected to the inherent abuses of battery cages.
MFA is calling on McDonald's Corporation to end its use of eggs from hens confined in battery cages in the United States, as it has already in the European Union.
Sadly, not a single federal law currently provides any protection to birds at the hatchery, on the factory farm, or during slaughter. Further, most states - including those in which this investigation was conducted - have sweeping exemptions for farmed animals, which allow for abuses to run rampant without prosecution.
While McDonald's has the moral obligation and purchasing power to lessen the cruelty suffered by the millions of hens who are abused and exploited to produce eggs for its restaurants, consumers also hold enormous power of their own in preventing animal abuse by adopting a compassionate vegan diet.
