“My god, what happened to her face?”
It’s the middle of the night, and I’m with a team of activists from the Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) Open Rescue Network on the White House’s turkey farm. And we’re all in shock at what we’re seeing. The top half of the little bird’s face is flattened, as if pounded in with a sledge hammer. Her beak, which birds use the way we use our hands, is a shriveled stump covered in scars.
