Turkeys Apparently Kicked, Stomped and Beaten at Farm Deserve Justice

Target: Michelle Henry, Pennsylvania Attorney General

Goal: Ensure rigorous legal consequences for all involved in Pennsylvania’s largest animal cruelty case.

Shocking and deplorable acts of cruelty against turkeys at several Pennsylvania farms have recently come to light. An extensive investigation, initiated by a complaint from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), reportedly revealed that employees at Plainville Farms were involved in heinous acts of violence against these birds. The cruelty apparently included kicking, stomping, and beating, leading to what is now known as the largest factory-farmed animal cruelty case in U.S. history.

Eleven former employees of Plainville Farms have been charged, with convictions including Joseph Nunez Rosario and Christopher Stephen McArdle. Alleged atrocities occurred across farms in Franklin, Chester, Cumberland, Fulton, Perry, and Union counties. These acts not only represent a gross violation of animal rights but also reflect a disturbing disregard for compassion and ethical treatment in the agricultural sector.

This petition demands strict legal punishment for all individuals involved in this reprehensible behavior. Their actions, allegedly witnessed firsthand by a PETA employee, cannot be overlooked or minimized. It is essential that these cases serve as a deterrent against future acts of cruelty within the industry. Ensure that justice is served not only for the victims, but also to uphold ethical standards in our society.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Attorney General Henry,

The recent revelation of alleged widespread cruelty to turkeys at Plainville Farms in Pennsylvania has shocked and appalled the community. As the largest case of its kind in U.S. history, it demands your immediate attention and action. This letter, representing the voices of concerned citizens, urgently calls for the enforcement of rigorous legal consequences against all individuals involved in these heinous acts.

The extent of the cruelty, involving kicking, stomping, and beating of turkeys, was allegedly witnessed by a PETA employee, leading to charges against eleven former employees. Such brutality not only inflicts unspeakable suffering on innocent animals but also raises serious concerns about ethical practices in our agricultural industries. The convictions of Joseph Nunez Rosario and Christopher Stephen McArdle, among others, represent only a fraction of the necessary legal response to this widespread issue.

We implore you to ensure that all individuals involved in these alleged acts of cruelty face the full extent of legal consequences. These cases must serve as a stark reminder and a deterrent to prevent any future occurrences of such barbarity. It is imperative that justice is served for the victims and that a clear message is sent about the values we uphold as a society.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]

    WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON…YOU KNOW THESE HALF-WITS WHO ARE DOING THIS. JUST GO AND SORT OUT THIS DISGUSTING STATE OF AFFAIRS AND DO IT NOW.
    EVIL, VILE EXCUSES FOR HUMANS, THEY ARE A REAL WASTE OF SPACE ON THIS EARTH. PUNISH, PUNISH, PUNISH THEM …AND THEN SOME.
    SO DISGUSTING, ALL OF THEM. SO CRUEL, WICKED AND THICK TOO.
    JUST SORT THEM OUT ONCE AND FOR ALL.

  2. Sometimes I despair that animal abuse will never be resigned to history, that we will always be fighting for justice for the innocents!

    In addition to the harshest sentences for all the animal abusers there needs to be further tightening of animal welfare laws in PA. A statewide inspection scheme for all farms in PA needs to be implemented. There should be a thorough vetting of all current employees and new job applicants with records of those vettings sent to Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture – and if PDA does not have a department to handle that one should be commissioned. And the management and CEOs of the farms where this abuse has occurred need to be thoroughly investigated, fined, and removed if they are complicit or knew that it was taking place. Animal abuse is a federal crime now, and accountability should not be limited to the individual perpetrators.

    This is another reason to ban factory farms. The workers have no regard for the welfare of the innocent animals who are forced to live in these horrible places. It’s so sickening and inhumane, what the animals have to endure.

  4. Just hang the fucking evil putrid monsters ffs!
    They are worthless, good for NOTHING.
    Make the world a better & SAFE place for all Animals.
    There is NO severe punishment…. That’s why is will Never STOP!
    Animals are not on this earth to be tortured, raped, abused, mutilated, starved & whatever the fuck else all these depraved inbreds are doing to them. It MUST be dealt with severely NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Absolutely agree with you. They should have the same done to them. They’d soon be begging them to stop and screaming. Animals don’t deserve this horror inflicted upon them. They have rights to live and cruel, evil monsters need disposing off the face of the earth. They are the evil of this world. I’d love to volunteer to punish these basatards. I’d do it for the animals and teach these cruel f####rs a lesson they’d never forget.
