A sad reminder that the glory days of the internet are well over a decade ago.

“Horrifically deformed” turkeys have been discovered at a factory farm named as a supplier to some of the UK’s biggest supermarket chains. Secretly taken video footage shows crippled birds unable to walk, with missing feathers and exposed skin, and appearing unhealthy or suffering. Sick birds were also recorded being attacked by others. The turkeys would have lived in the shed for between eight and 26 weeks before being slaughtered.
