In the EU, over 90% of turkeys are kept in intensive indoor systems. Turkey chicks undergo a series of painful mutilations including beak-trimming, toe clipping and removal of the skin on the forehead known as the ‘snood’. These procedures are done without anaesthetic.

Through selective breeding for faster growth, a commercial turkey can reach as much as 25kg in just 20 weeks. The average weight of a wild turkey is just 7.5kg. This fast growth rate leads to the potential for heart failure, lameness, leg deformities and hip degeneration.

The wild turkey was almost hunted to extinction in the 1900s, the population was as low as 30,000 birds. But conservation of their North America habitat has brought populations back from the brink with over 7 million today.
