Mercy For Animals Butterball Abuse Turkey Commercial To Air On Several Cable Networks (VIDEO)

WATCH: Butterball Abuse Commercial To Air On Several Networks

Last week, the animal rights group Mercy For Animals released a video alleging abuse at a Butterball turkey slaughterhouse. This is in addition to another video the group unearthed last year, which featured different -- and gruesome -- animal abuse.

Based on these videos, Mercy For Animals has begun airing television commercials that warn consumers of Butterball's transgressions. The following cities are airing the ads on these networks:

  • Los Angeles: Food TV, MTV, MTV2 and Animal Planet
  • Chicago: Lifetime, MTV and VH1
  • Raleigh/Durham: Food TV, Family, ENT, Animal Planet, MTV and VH1

Here's the ad below. A lot more disturbing than your average Thanksgiving food commercial, no?
