Disturbing footage shows RSPCA-approved workers kicking and stamping on hens at Kettleby Farm in Leicestershire. Video shows chickens are hit by craters, treading on them, and violently 'throwing them against shed walls'.
WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT. The footage was captured by animal rights group The Animal Justice Project. It shows workers from AD Harvey stamping on and kicking the poor animalsThis is the shocking moment RSPCA-approved workers stamped on hens at a farm that supplies eggs to Asda and Morrisons.
AD Harvey and Kettleby Farm, which is owned by Sunrise Poultry, are both RSPCA Assured members. RSPCA Assured have since suspended AD Harvey whilst they investigate the alleged abuse. The birds are taken to an abattoir and are then usually used for cheap meat, soups, stock, or stews as a 'by-product' of the egg industry.
'Some hens were severely injured or dead, while others experienced extreme distress, being carried upside down or by one leg. Additionally, workers were observed slamming doors on to hens, causing potential harm. Catchers in the film appear to be aware of their inappropriate methods, with one saying that holding the birds by their legs weakens them so much that once placed on the ground, they suffocate within three minutes.
The workers round the chickens up and take them to an abattoir when they reach the end of their natural egg-laying life 'The distressing, breakneck speed at which hens, at the close of their productive lives, are nightly captured by gangs under the watch even of the RSPCA underscores the urgency for a shift away from animal agriculture.
In a statement issued by AD Harvey, the company said the behaviour of their staff had fallen 'below standards'. Catcher gangs are used at chicken farms across the UK to catch thousands of chickens when they come to the end of their natural egg-laying life at around 76 to 80 weeks old 'It is totally unacceptable for any animal to be treated in this way and we have reported this incident to the Animal and Plant Health Agency – an official government body that is fully equipped and resourced to investigate and take action.
