Between April and July, 2006, PETA undercover investigators worked as "live hangers"—the people who receive live birds and shackle them for slaughter—at a Butterball turkey plant in Ozark, Arkansas. This one plant processes approximately 50,000 birds each day.

PETA's investigators witnessed despicable acts of cruelty to animals that would horrify any kind person. Live birds were slammed against transport trucks and walls, punched and kicked, hung by broken legs, and used as punching bags—all either for "fun" or out of frustration.
