Investigators raid Butterball plant, look for abused turkeys

Hoke County sheriff's detectives and animal welfare investigators have spent the day looking for evidence that turkeys were tortured and mistreated at a Butterball facility in Shannon, about 90 miles south of Raleigh.

The investigators arrived at the plant at 8 a.m. this morning in response to allegations by an animal rights group that Butterball employees beat, kicked, threw and stomped the birds.

Garner-based Butterball, the nation's largest producer of turkey products, said it does not tolerate cruelty to animals and is cooperating with the investigation.
