Heart 4 Animals

Did you know?

• Modern turkeys are bred to reach slaughter size at 13-16 weeks. 40 years ago the average turkey took 32 weeks to reach slaughter size. This rapid growth results in health complications such as skeletal, respiratory, and cardiovascular disease.
• Turkey farms often cut off the ends of the turkeys’ beaks and toes. The tip of the beak is cut off with a hot blade, essentially analogous to having your lips cut off. The toes are cut back to the first knuckle without anaesthesia.
