The Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF) has released undercover video footage from inside a Tyson Foods Inc. slaughter plant in Carthage, Texas, which the group asserts documents a system exploiting both workers and animals. The videotape includes an interview with the undercover investigator, filmed in shadow to protect her identity. This is the second recent undercover investigation involving Tyson Foods. In July, Mercy For Animals released undercover footage from T&S Farm in Dukedom, TN, which had been contracted by Tyson Foods. After that, Tyson announced it was ending its relationship with T&S Farm, and the farm’s owners were subsequently charged with criminal animal cruelty.
