Episode Description
BREAKING NEWS: Animal Outlook releases shocking, new undercover video of chickens being abused in a California factory farm and is calling for the Fresno County District Attorney’s office to file criminal animal cruelty charges against the corporation, which Animal Outlook identifies as Foster Farms, a major supplier to many big supermarkets. The video appears to show multiple instances of forklifts driving over and hitting live chickens, chickens being thrown, chickens being kicked and grabbed by their wings. Foster Farms says all of its chicken farms are American Humane Association Certified, and that the chickens it raises enjoy the 5 freedoms: including, “freedom from discomfort,” and “freedom from injury, pain, or disease.” Animal Outlook says its investigation “reveals a stark contrast, showing anything but humane care and freedom from discomfort, injury and fear.” Foster Farms is invited on any time to respond to Animal Outlook’s allegations. UnchainedTV’s Jane Velez-Mitchell speaks to Animal Outlook’s new Executive Director, Ben Williamson about this blockbuster breaking news and his fascinating history as a leader in the animal rights movement.
