4. The Butterball Turkey story is interesting, it deserves to live beyond LBN.

I made a remark in post #5, and the smear was “stupid fundamentalist vegans”, which I thought was appropriate after watching their video, which was poorly edited. Nevertheless, it's possible that the Butterball turkeys are treated badly, so badly that it's against the law. The case is ongoing, and if there's any substance to the allegations made by Mercy for Animals, Butterball will have big problems.

Mercy for Animals have achieved some results in the past, most recently about showing what's going on with the chickens at Sparboe Farms and the pigs at Select Farms, according to the Wikipedia article on them (Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercy_for_Animals ). Exposing animal abuse is a good thing, but I strongly dislike the format of the alleged Butterball footage. However, if they are right about the animal abuse, they're ok with me.
