A California woman was outraged to discover that the Butterball turkey she bought for Thanksgiving was completely spoiled after learning about claims that birds had been sexually abused on a farm in resurfaced footage.

Tami Burke posted horrific pictures on Facebook of a Butterball turkey she purchased at a grocery store in Menifee. The pictures showed a spoiled and discolored bird.

“Check your turkey early. “I have been cooking turkeys for many years and have never seen this before,” Burke warned in her disturbing post. “Mine was rotten or abused and had severe bruising.”

“If animal cruelty is a problem, I have no problem contacting animal rights activists to investigate the matter. Vegetarianism sounds really good at the moment,” she assured.

Disappointed, Burke returned the turkey to the store just days before the turkey holiday, which she said was a major “inconvenience.”

She also claimed that she informed Butterball of her terrible discovery.

“I really couldn’t trust any other turkey,” Burke added, explaining she opted for a tri-tip beef roast instead of the poultry product this year.

The disgusting post comes as the country’s largest turkey supplier has come under intense scrutiny following a 2006 PETA video showing violence and sexual assault against turkeys at a Butterball slaughterhouse in Ozark, Arkansas.

According to PETA, an unidentified investigator revealed the alleged atrocities he witnessed as workers “tied and slaughtered” more than 50,000 turkeys each day.

In the shockingly graphic video, the investigator claimed he saw a Butterball employee insert his finger into a turkey’s cloaca, or vagina, for “fun.”

Another worker was said to have “bumped” a turkey while it was tied up.

The investigator recalled another haunting incident in which a worker taunted another worker by holding a bird by its legs and jerking it back and forth.

“The second guy just grabbed the bird and hit her.”

Footage showed workers aggressively handling several turkeys – throwing, beating and hanging them to death.

“Nothing humane has ever happened in a slaughterhouse,” Amber Canavan, vegan campaign project manager at PETA, told DailyMail.com.

The investigator’s witness report states: “A worker took a live bird, stepped on her head and crushed her skull until her head exploded.” Then he laughed and wiped the blood from his leg. He also threw birds on the concrete and hit others.”

During his 40 days working at the cruel facility, the witness said workers hit birds against metal bars and violently broke their backs and legs.

The investigator recalled bird eyes popping out, spines exposed and limbs torn off in the frightening video.

“The workers at this factory clearly had no training in animal welfare – some workers even bragged about their mistreatment,” he claimed.

Just days before Thanksgiving, the unflattering footage left social media users cringing in disgust and many calling for a boycott.

In the last few days since the video resurfaced, social media platforms have been flooded with negative reactions, with people declaring that they won’t be shopping at Butterball this year.

Others claimed they returned the Butterball turkeys they had already purchased.

This month alone, Butterball sold about 15 million turkeys nationwide, the fleet owner reported.

One Facebook user responded: “A really bad case of sexual abuse. ‘Boycott Butterball!’

“Boycott Butterball,” another echoed the sentiment. “It’s a vial, it’s sadistic, it’s disgusting.”

Other posts reinforced the idea that the “nasty” video had deterred many from buying from the well-known brand.

The heartbreaking resurfaced clip is just one of many alarming videos PETA shared online in the lead-up to Thanksgiving, urging people to rethink the food on their plates this year.

“It’s never too late to go out and get that vegan roast,” Canavan said. “Spare this turkey the horrors of the slaughterhouse.”

In an email to DailyMail.com, a Butterball spokesperson defended the company.

The statement said: “We are aware of a video from almost 20 years ago that is being re-shared on social media.” This video is not current and does not in any way reflect our animal welfare policies.

“Animal care and animal welfare are of central importance to us as a company and we are committed to caring for our herds ethically and responsibly. This means maintaining the health and well-being of our turkeys is an ongoing effort.”

The spokesperson added that Butterball has annual third-party audits to ensure facilities comply with “over 200 science-based standards of best practice for turkey care.”

She added, “Butterball was the first and remains the only turkey company certified by American Humane.” “We are proud to be one of three turkeys on the table this Thanksgiving.”

Butterball has not responded to DailyMail.com regarding Burke’s Facebook post.
