The short explanation of this alert was:
Butterball workers were documented punching and stomping on live turkeys, sexually assaulting them, and slamming them against walls during an undercover investigation at a Butterball slaughterhouse in Ozark, Arkansas. One Butterball employee stomped on a bird's head until her skull exploded, another swung a turkey against a metal handrail so hard that her spine popped out, and another was seen inserting his finger into a turkey's cloaca (vagina). One worker told an investigator: "If you jump on their stomachs right, they'll pop ... or their insides will come out of their [rectums]," and other Butterball workers frequently bragged about kicking and tormenting birds.

You can help stop this abuse by enjoying a vegetarian Thanksgiving meal and refusing to purchase Butterball turkeys or other products. Remember to forward this pledge to your friends and family so they'll know why they should boycott Butterball too. You can help even more animals by requesting a free vegetarian starter kit today.
