Criminal charges will not be filed against workers who allegedly tortured chickens at a West Virginia processing plant, a prosecutor said.

Ginny Conley, acting executive director of the West Virginia Prosecuting Attorneys Institute and Wood County's prosecutor, had struggled to find a lawyer willing to serve as special prosecutor in the case against former employees of the Pilgrim's Pride Corp. plant in Moorefield.

"After reviewing the evidence and conferring with other prosecutors, I've made the decision the incident does not rise to the level of a criminal prosecution due to the fact that these were chickens in a slaughterhouse," she said Tuesday.



so it's okay to abuse animals that are going to be killed anyway? Makes perfect sense
