At Reichardt Duck Farm, one of the largest duck factory farms in the country, a Mercy For Animals undercover investigator exposed rampant abuse and neglect of hundreds of thousands of animals. Workers burned off the bills of baby birds with searing-hot metal and left ducks painfully trapped in cage wire or manure pits to slowly suffer and die from lack of food and water.
Like factory-farmed chickens and turkeys, from the time they hatched until the moment they were violently killed at the slaughterhouse, these ducks endured horrific cruelty. The investigation broke with an exclusive story by ABC NEWS in San Francisco and then captured even more media attention from CBS, Fox and more, helping raise awareness about the tragic plights of factory-farmed birds.
