Butterball is facing calls for a boycott just days before Thanksgiving after sickening footage of poultry workers allegedly sexually abusing and torturing its turkeys resurfaced on social media.

The uproar unfolded after People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) activists posted a decades-old clip online over the weekend that allegedly showed the company’s employees abusing live turkeys at a plant in Ozark, Arkansas.

The graphic footage, which soon went viral, was captured during an undercover probe in 2006 in which workers were filmed bashing the birds against steel cages and stomping on their heads, the animal rights group claimed.

After reading excerpts from Slaughterhouse (Gail Eisintz), I found animal abuse is common in many slaughterhouses. Maybe all. I dunno. Anyway, after reading that I became vegetarian in stages. Red meat first, then fish, then birds. Wish I started earlier, but what's done is done. Also, most livestock are raised in horrid conditions, so. . . I just decided I'm not gonna financially support this crap, though now there's a little more to it for me.
