"Undercover Investigation Alleges Abuse of Chickens, Workers at Tyson Slaughter Plant in Texas", 16 Sep 2015

The Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF) has released undercover video footage from inside a Tyson Foods Inc. slaughter plant in Carthage, Texas, which the group asserts documents a system exploiting both workers and animals... Tyson responded to a Sept. 14 media report of the ALDF investigation with this statement... 

ALDF stated that the fast speeds at which chickens are slaughtered greatly increases the possibility of equipment jamming in processing plants, making it impossible to handle the birds in a humane fashion and creating safety concerns for Tyson employees... 

The group has also filed [a]...complaint...with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) citing what the group called “unsafe working conditions for employees,” including repetitive motion stress injuries and the “high risk of being maimed and/or injured by the rapidly moving conveyor belts.”
