I thought this was such a well-done video. As a turkey farmer, we work hard to make sure that our turkeys are healthy and comfortable on our farm, and it is nice to see how respectfully they're treated after they leave, as well. We, in the industry, want to be transparent, and this video helps us do that!
I am so thankful to Dr. Grandin for all the wonderful work she is doing for animal agriculture. She makes our animals live's and more importantly, their death's better. She is demanding that the ag industry be transparent and improve! What positive things. I had the honor of meeting her, and I left feeling so inspired, our whole ranch changed how we did things. Thank you for this excellent video!
I appreciate this video very much. I work in the turkey industry and it is great that our industry is taking this step to show consumers how we operate. After more than 20 years in this industry I have concluded that most Americans (the 99%) just want to know that it is OK for them to enjoy meat. That is the educational part of this video and what our industry must do. We cannot change the minds of those who hate what we do or who want to deprive the 99% of the right to choose what we eat.
I had the greatest pleasure of raising a turkey as a pet. I still eat turkey but I think about it differently now. These birds if given the chance can show you the purest form of love and companionship that you will ever see. I personally wish that either breeding of broad breasted birds would either stop all together or adapt to allow their bodies to support the extra weight. Broad Breasted Turkeys have so many health problems due to their weight that they don't have a chance to even come close to living as long as their heritage counterparts. Turkeys are amazingly smart and affectionate they just need to be given a chance
I'm very surprised to see civilized comments on what seems to be such an incendiary topic. This was a fantastic walkthrough of the process and the safeguards that are in place to ensure there is no needless pain to the animals. Thanks!
thank god for the work of people like Dr. Grandin! we all need to do our part to ensure the food animals (and every other animal, of course) is properly cared for in all aspects from birth to death.....
Thank you Dr. Grandin, Since I live a city that is one of the nations largest turkey producers I will have to redact the name of the producer to ensure privacy for the company. I find this video very educational. Where I live we are in the verge of the avian bird flu. Turkey farmers are advised to watch out for signs of flu. Some farmers had to destroy their birds that were affected It is good to see the aseptic technique being done through the processing plant. That is very important. Finally I did not realize how the humane way of how the turkeys are being handled. I find it very ethical on how they get the proper treatment before their last days of life.
Great video about the best possible farm practices out there. I can't understand why some other major farmers are so shy to be open about their practices.
thank you so much for this video, I'm actually thinking of changing my diet to no longer eating red meat and this video let's me know that the turkeys are killed in a humane way , thank you so much

I totally agree with what you say 😃😃
As an omnivore, person with Autism and care about animal welfare, I applaud Dr Temple's work in the meat industry.

Excellent video!!!
We watched this in our poultry science class to show the most humane way to handle/process turkeys! THANK YOU :)

This was very professional and very informative.
Thank you for taking the time and effort to put it together.
Dr Grandin, Great info, thanks much for taking us with you on a journey on the farm to dinner table.
Thank you Temple for all you have done in your life to understand and make great positive changes in the meat industry.
Thanks NTF & a big Thank You Dr. Grandin, I do admire your work in humane animal processing and consider you my mentor in the business.
Thank you for producing this video. It is very comprehensive video of what a turkey goes through when it is ready to go to the processor. ~Emily

Thanks for producing this awesome video Professor Grandin, now I understand the education of Turkey Farm and Poultry discipline. ☺
Great video, worked at a duck processing plant for 5 years, a lot of similarities. From egg to slaughter and packing and freezing.
one of the best farms I've seen
SEE! THIS IS HOW YOU REALLY TAKE CARE OF YOUR FARM ANIMALS.....THIS IS THE RIGHT WAY!!!
Thank you Dr.Grandin ! You the best.

That was very informative. I’ve always been curious about how the birds are processed. It’s good to know they’re being treated humanely.
Since we still have to grow animals in order to have meat in our diet, I wish ALL of them would be treated this way. Thanks for this video!
Thank you Temple!
