I worked at the Pilgrims Pride Chicken Hatchery on the 7000 block of highway 7 east in Nacogdoches, TX. When I first started I noticed abuse of the chickens right off. Healthy chickens being killed for no apparent reason under the management of Larasso (Larry) Acuna. Baby chicks are thrown into the hopper. Also the machine hurts the baby chicks & leaves them in pain, some without feathers, some covered in a goo, but most are disoriented. Aslo when they get the baby chicks out of the incubators, at times theres healthy baby chicks on the ground & they roll the incubator carts over some of the chickens, haming their legs, feet & at times right over the tops of their heads, what baby chicks survive that & are in pain lay there till a cleaning crew comes in & throws them away like trash, many are still in pain at this point. Aslo when they wash the crates that come back from the farm after they dump baby chicks at the farm, ocassionally the baby chicks ae cooked alive by the hot water of the maschine that washes the tubs, noone disposes of the chickens or treats them properly. The are supposed to follow their own culling of the chicken rules to prevent such things from happening but they do not.
