“You need to kill him?” one worker asks in the video. Compassion Over Killing sends its undercover investigators to meat-processing plants to get jobs, then films conditions to document possible animal abuse. In 2016, the group released video of Tyson employees who appeared to throw, punch and kick chickens at four Virginia facilities. After the release of that video, 10 Tyson workers were convicted of charges related to animal cruelty. Compassion Over Killing Executive Director Erica Meier said the graphic video arms consumers with knowledge about conditions inside the facility.
