This Christmas, make the connection: Australian turkey farming

Factory farmed turkeys spend their entire lives in crowded sheds with thousands of other birds. Three to five million turkeys are currently killed every year in Australia for meat but this number is growing. Turkeys each live in a space the size of an A3 sheet of paper, until they are slaughtered at approximately 10 - 12 weeks (a turkey's natural life span is around 10 years).

This Christmas, make the connection.
