No animal cruelty charges in chicken stomping:Grand jury declines to indict workers despite acts caught on tape

MORGANTOWN, W. Va. - A grand jury refused to indict former workers at a Pilgrim's Pride Corp. chicken plant who kicked and stomped live birds while being filmed undercover by an animal rights group.

Special prosecutor Ginny Conley had previously said she had no evidence to warrant criminal charges, but said Wednesday that more evidence had been found that persuaded her to present the case to a grand jury. Pressure from the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals did little to sway her, she said.

What the hell? That makes no sense to me, I wish they would have at least stated a reason in the article. I guess it's good they lost their jobs anyway.

If those birds had been dogs, there would be an uproar.
