Now we all know Mcnuggets aren’t the healthiest of things, and they’re not made in the nicest way, but this treatment of the chickens was too much for even McDonald’s.

The fast food giant have severed ties with the farm, as have Tyson Foods, be it through actual disgust at the video, or for PR reasons.

Wiki

Both Tyson Foods and McDonald’s have claimed animal safety is one of their primary concerns, and that they are working together to make sure it never happens again.
