Animal Equality and Animal Partisan filed a criminal complaint against major turkey producer Plainville Farms following the release of undercover video footage of Plainville Farms workers routinely beating and choking turkeys while loading them onto trucks headed for slaughterhouses. Eleven workers already are facing dozens of felony and misdemeanor cruelty charges, but the instant complaint filed in Adams County, Pennsylvania alleges that Plainville Farms also should be held criminally liable.
