more - with graphic content video - at Daily Mail link aboveThe turkeys are coming home to roost at Butterball.
After a pattern of vicious abuse was caught on tape and posted online, authorities in North Carolina have raided a facility of the turkey giant.
The raid came after allegations made by animal advocacy group Mercy for Animals, who sent an undercover investigator to work for the company for three weeks.
What the investigator found was shocking abuse of the turkeys, leaving many with missing eyes, deformed feet and other injuries.
