In the UK around 90 per cent of turkeys are reared intensively on factory farms. They’re selectively bred to grow quickly and often suffer from agonising leg disorders, joint degeneration and heart disease as a result.
The industrial units in which turkeys are raised frequently lack appropriate environmental enrichment, causing extreme stress and the development of unnatural behaviours as a result – such as cannibalism and feather-pecking
Footage from an undercover investigation into three British intensive Red Tractor turkey farms – East Farm, Norfolk and two Gloucestershire-based farms Clearwell and Strawberry Hill reveals shocking scenes of suffering and abject animal cruelty, all for the sake of Christmas dinner.
Our 2019 turkey farm investigation revealed shocking conditions found on an intensive farm supplying Avara Foods – one of the UK’s largest poultry processors supplying major food retailers and restaurant chains.
