  • Leading animal welfare expert Temple Grandin, PhD, professor of animal science at Colorado State University, guides the viewing public with an expert eye on the growth and delivery of 253 million turkeys each year.
    In the video, the viewer gets an up-close look as Grandin interacts with a flock of 15,000 birds roaming easily down the football-field length of a climate-controlled turkey house. When readied for market, those turkeys ride up into conveyor loading trucks and to an orderly delivery at the processing plant.
    There, the process of humanely stunning the birds renders them unconscious before processing under the watchful presence of USDA government inspectors enforcing safe and sanitary preparation. At each step along the methodical movement of rinsing, cleaning and separating the meat from the carcass, Grandin provides context and common sense explanations. The reality of raising and preparing turkeys for market is revealed in the video for what it is: a modern process that is humane, safe and efficient.

    I thought this was such a well-done video. As a turkey farmer, we work hard to make sure that our turkeys are healthy and comfortable on our farm, and it is nice to see how respectfully they're treated after they leave, as well. We, in the industry, want to be transparent, and this video helps us do that!

    I am so thankful to Dr. Grandin for all the wonderful work she is doing for animal agriculture. She makes our animals live's and more importantly, their death's better. She is demanding that the ag industry be transparent and improve! What positive things. I had the honor of meeting her, and I left feeling so inspired, our whole ranch changed how we did things. Thank you for this excellent video!

    I appreciate this video very much. I work in the turkey industry and it is great that our industry is taking this step to show consumers how we operate. After more than 20 years in this industry I have concluded that most Americans (the 99%) just want to know that it is OK for them to enjoy meat. That is the educational part of this video and what our industry must do. We cannot change the minds of those who hate what we do or who want to deprive the 99% of the right to choose what we eat.

      I had the greatest pleasure of raising a turkey as a pet. I still eat turkey but I think about it differently now. These birds if given the chance can show you the purest form of love and companionship that you will ever see. I personally wish that either breeding of broad breasted birds would either stop all together or adapt to allow their bodies to support the extra weight. Broad Breasted Turkeys have so many health problems due to their weight that they don't have a chance to even come close to living as long as their heritage counterparts. Turkeys are amazingly smart and affectionate they just need to be given a chance

    I'm very surprised to see civilized comments on what seems to be such an incendiary topic. This was a fantastic walkthrough of the process and the safeguards that are in place to ensure there is no needless pain to the animals. Thanks!

    Thank you Dr. Grandin, Since I live a city that is one of the nations largest turkey producers I will have to redact the name of the producer to ensure privacy for the company. I find this video very educational. Where I live we are in the verge of the avian bird flu. Turkey farmers are advised to watch out for signs of flu. Some farmers had to destroy their birds that were affected It is good to see the aseptic technique being done through the processing plant. That is very important. Finally I did not realize how the humane way of how the turkeys are being handled. I find it very ethical on how they get the proper treatment before their last days of life.
