I don't have the heart to click on the article. Hopefully the turkeys won't be culled during closures!
This is at a facility that "processes" them rather than one that raises them. The turkeys most likely weren't killed earlier than industry typically does (which is still young). Turkeys can live 10 yrs but are typically slaughtered between ~5-6 months old. Contract growers probably already reduced the amount of turkeys they raise because late January + 6 months comes out to around now
Ah ok, thanks. So these closures just means less turkeys were born for slaughter in the first place. Good.
Fuck yeah 💪
Excellent news for turkeys, not so much for the people that worked there.
Then again, they had a choice, the turkeys didn't.
