Yes, what happens to Chickens generally is bad enough without workers being deliberately sadistic to them. That idea brings tears to my eyes. How can anyone feel that way?
I am glad the company has made the workers wear body cameras.
I am sure they are not all like that, but when it comes to 'cutting corners' very many busy people who have an eye on their living will do things which they may not have done normally. Put into the equation that panicked birds en-masse are extremely difficult to catch and restrain, and there seems to be a natural tendency towards some level of cruelty, even amongst those who wouldn't normally behave in a sadistic way.
As I must have said before, I live almost a quarter mile from a "barn egg" Chicken farm. To some extent I know what goes on there, even with people whom I quite like, and who are not cruel people. Contractors are brought in when the "sheds are cleared". I can only begin to imagine what goes on. And that is considered normal.
Poor chickens. They do get a terrible time on Earth.
