Kill the Turkeys, Collect the Checks: Corporate Welfare In America

from The Peoples Voice Podcast · host Trey Evans

As families prepare for Thanksgiving, few are aware of the controversial methods the poultry industry has used to contain recent bird-flu outbreaks, including ventilation shutdowns and other mass-culling techniques that animal-welfare groups have condemned as inhumane. At the same time, federal records show that many poultry operations receive substantial government compensation for outbreak-related losses—often totaling millions of dollars. Critics argue that these payouts amount to a form of corporate welfare, propping up an industry whose production practices may contribute to recurring disease risks.Check out the webiste for more infohttp://treyevansthepeoplesvoice.com/  #thepeoplesvoicepodcast#social issuesCopyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research
