Animal abuse amongst factory farms is a reality that is more common than many of us care to recognize. A Toronto based animal rights group known as Mercy For Animals, caught on film some disgusting acts of violence and even sexual abuse of chickens, carried out by the workers and supervisors of a Chiliwack farm. This video was sent to and released by the BC SPCA, an organization committed to improving the life of all domestic, farm, and wild animals alike.
This was documented from May 10 to June 9 at Elite Farms Services Ltd., the company collects and transports chickens to a Port Coquitlam slaughter plant for Lilydale/Sofina Foods Inc. products. Sofia Foods released a few statements on the matter:
“We are appalled and extremely shocked by the video footage we saw of a few of our supplier’s employees displaying disturbing and unacceptable behaviours that Sofina Foods Inc. does not in any way tolerate or condone. Ethical and responsible treatment of animals is of utmost importance to our organization.”
“We are taking immediate steps with our supplier to initiate a comprehensive investigation of the situation and have engaged internal and external expertise to help us determine proper course of action in line with our animal care commitment and expectations. ”
The poultry company claims they have contacted the supply company in question and had all of the offenders fired for their actions. Sofia Foods also said they are working in full cooperation with the authorities who wish to take action after the blatant evidence of abuse.
This video reveals absolutely awful acts to live birds including stomping on chickens, ripping their limbs off, throwing them around like footballs, swinging them by their feet and wings, humping chickens, and forcing them to preform other disgusting sexual acts. One man uses a chicken as a rag for the feces on his pants. These are creatures of earth and whether or not you eat chicken, it isn’t debatable that this is an appalling way to treat a creature that gives it’s life to feed your family.
Marcie Moriarty, Chief Prevention and Enforcement Officer for the BC SPCA mentioned in a statement.
“The video includes some of the most brutal and sadistic acts of violence against animals I have ever seen,”
“It is extremely difficult to watch.”

Unfortunately when you buy animal products from large companies like this, it is likely you are supporting this kind of behavior. Factory farms and slaughterhouses can be credited with most of the animal abuse in America. The above video is absolutely cruel, but how often do acts like that go unnoticed? With such large companies it is difficult for the CEO’s and other high up management to have much control over the day to day ground operations. Here is a site showing other common acts of animal abuse in this industry. Remember you have the power to support (or not support) unethical companies, if you eat meat, then check out your local farmers markets, talk to the farmers about their practices, go and see the living conditions of the animals feeding your families. Don’t turn a blind eye to the systematic abuse of other living creatures, you can make a difference!

Fired? They should be in jail
I’ve got no words for this it’s appalling! Bastards
We shouldn’t accept excuses from the companies that deal with this type of supplier. It’s their duty to their consumers to monitor where they get their product from. No more apologies….they should also be held accountable……they are quite aware of the abuses in the meat industry…it’s their despicable world.
Sick evil bastards, just kill them.
My thoughts too. Let’s hang them by their nuts
Um wow … 😂😂😂😂chickenfu໒Kཛཞຮ ha ha Ha ha disgusting !
Shocking footage but sadly it doesn’t surprise me where humans are involved. These abusers should be fired, fined and forced to serve a stiff jail sentence, a sentence of 10 years minimum. This is outrageous and disgusting and MUST BE INVESTIGATED TO THE FULLEST!!!!!!
There is a commandment…Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.
Now…how many of us would want this evil done to us ? Hmmmm. Thought so. No one !
Then why would this behavior be allowed to continue? Oh, you say….they were only chickens. Well, my opinion is – if these humans would be so depraved to abuse an animal – they surely would do it to a helpless child. These people are sick ! They need to be stopped.
Descusting Descusting filthy crule abusive people, they are life’s lowest kind of animals not the defenceless chickens, it is filth
The packing industry is interested in profits only. Animal torture is nothing new and will continue as long as there are commercial processors and a never ending supply of degenerates to hire. An investigation is nothing but a fancy word for COVERUP.
This is horrible no doubt but can you please fix the poor spelling and grammar? It only serves to detract from the message.
Can you please point out the spelling error?
So f’n disgusting. Should be treated exactly how they treated these birds. To reach a place that any of this is acceptable behavior to carry out in any way shape or form completely baffles me. I hope they are held fully accountable for this sick and depraved behavior.
They were only fired? How come they are nit in jail, for cruelty to animals, sexual abuse of animals, and tainting a food supply and probable spreading disease etc. Id say that would warrant quite a long stint in Jail. In fact its a shame that the same isnt done to them. These men are sick in the head. Mag to grid….get rid….
What is the religon of these beasts. Anyone what to bet they are muslim
Why on earth would you expect that?
Put these idiots in jail and never to work around animals again!!!
