Farm workers admit fowl play

Friday, September 8, 2006

 

Neil Allen and Daniel PalmerContractors at a Bernard Matthews farm played a sick game of baseball with live turkeys, a court heard yesterday.

 

Daniel Palmer, 27, and Neil Allen, 30, threw the birds in the air and hit them with a wooden pole.

 

A vet described the incident, which was caught on film, as the worst case of animal cruelty he had seen in 25 years. An investigator from an animal sanctuary crept up to the shed in the early hours and filmed the cruelty through a vent, RSPCA prosecutor Jonathan Eales said.

 

 

*******s. You ought to look at this, Mr Matthews.

 

'Palmer threw a turkey into the air and Allen took a swing with a pole,' Mr Eales added. 'He (Allen) took a good swing and hit it. The investigator heard a thud and there was laughter. The turkey fell to the floor and Allen kicked it while it was lying, flapping on the ground.'

 

The investigator was then heard on the video muttering: '*******s. You ought to look at this, Mr Matthews.'

 

Palmer and Allen were employed by Marol Services agency to work at Beck farm in Norfolk in April. Vet Neil Forbes said: 'The actions taken by the handlers are the most hideous and blatant action I have seen.'

 

The RSPCA said there was a 'culture of cruelty' at the plant, adding that people would be horrified by the reality of poultry farming. The charity called for an inquiry into the industry.

 

The pair, both from Dereham in Norfolk, admitted cruelty and were sentenced to 200 hours of community work by Norwich magistrates.
