WEBVTT 00:00:06.800 --> 00:00:08.880 Oh! Well that didn't work well. 00:00:10.540 --> 00:00:14.380 Hi guys! I don't know if you guys are still there. 00:00:15.380 --> 00:00:20.400 My phone totally died, I've been here for a while, pretty early... 00:00:21.400 --> 00:00:28.280 and I also under-estimated how cold it is, so my hands are a bit not functional at the moment. 00:00:28.460 --> 00:00:33.340 I had to come back to the... I got, cause this is the kinda person I am... 00:00:33.400 --> 00:00:39.700 I got this rental car. I don't have a car so I got a rental car explicitly to come and do this. 00:00:40.080 --> 00:00:41.700 Totally worth it. 00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:45.340 So right in front of me, I'm going to flip you guys around... 00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.380 Hold on... I just found out I can do that. 00:00:48.540 --> 00:00:51.660 So, that is the shed that we were in. 00:00:52.300 --> 00:00:53.800 You can see it there. 00:00:53.900 --> 00:01:04.060 So there's this, it's a shed, and there's rows of fans that go between the trucks. 00:01:04.060 --> 00:01:05.840 They park the trucks between the fans. 00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:16.540 And during the hot months, they're blowing and the turkeys sit on these trucks for hours and hours. 00:01:17.960 --> 00:01:20.600 And they're just crammed in there, I mean if you... 00:01:20.600 --> 00:01:24.940 It's kind of a perverse holiday, honestly. 00:01:27.010 --> 00:01:32.280 These are living beings. 00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:36.140 I don't know how long they're going to sit on the trucks today. 00:01:37.940 --> 00:01:41.840 They're still there. They were there when I got here. 00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:50.920 I got here a little later than I wanted because I saw a truck pull over at a gas station with pigs. 00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:54.680 So I also was with pigs this morning. 00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:59.060 And they were so... 00:02:01.700 --> 00:02:05.380 They were so trusting, these pigs. 00:02:06.500 --> 00:02:10.819 It was coming right up to me and... 00:02:10.820 --> 00:02:16.170 Some of them looked just so terrified. 00:02:16.170 --> 00:02:20.830 It's so hard leaving them too because for them and for these turkeys, 00:02:20.830 --> 00:02:26.840 this is...this is their death day. This is the last day of their lives. 00:02:27.460 --> 00:02:32.600 They, you know, bring them and unload them in the night and in the early morning. 00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:39.680 There's actually a job posting right now online for this facility, of... 00:02:40.320 --> 00:02:43.520 The position is literally called "Live Hang." 00:02:43.660 --> 00:02:49.500 So your job is to pull the turkeys out of the truck and hang them. 00:02:51.420 --> 00:02:54.220 Here's another great thing... oh that's my face, hold on. 00:02:54.220 --> 00:02:58.260 There's... Well I guess you can't see the school bus. 00:02:58.440 --> 00:02:59.900 There's a school bus right here. 00:03:02.040 --> 00:03:08.040 Earlier this morning when I first got here, 00:03:08.040 --> 00:03:13.860 there was a school bus that pulled in to the turkey shed for a little bit. 00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:20.380 So let's see if we can go through. 00:03:22.490 --> 00:03:25.230 See if I don't lose you. 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:35.760 This is where we were earlier... 00:03:41.300 --> 00:03:45.680 in between these trucks. 00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:54.280 There's where families live. 00:03:54.380 --> 00:03:57.820 Kids play right here, and then here's another one. 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:07.500 Inside, earlier this morning there were, it was full of trucks that were full. 00:04:07.510 --> 00:04:09.950 But now uhm... 00:04:12.260 --> 00:04:17.840 Now they've been emptied. 00:04:23.740 --> 00:04:27.860 Okay so let me flip you guys back around. 00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:31.340 So... (sigh) 00:04:32.100 --> 00:04:39.020 You can kind of see, I mean this is, it's a huge, huge building and facility. 00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:45.900 And basically... 00:04:45.940 --> 00:04:51.880 There's kind of like a, it's like a really celebrated story actually, this place. 00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:59.600 And, you know it was, it was like a slaughter facility, a slaughter house, and it was going to close. 00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:08.420 And then the local turkey farmers here kind of banded together and raised funds and everything. 00:05:08.540 --> 00:05:12.260 And then they, they bought the facility. 00:05:12.540 --> 00:05:16.800 So now, what it is today, it's primarily a processing plant. 00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:25.660 So they bring in, you know, like... carcasses of other species too. You know, cows and pigs. 00:05:25.780 --> 00:05:32.000 They process the meat all the way through to package ready, like Balogna and these kind of things. 00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:35.160 But, they still slaughter turkeys. 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:40.060 So the turkeys are, are the only animals that they, they slaughter here. 00:05:40.060 --> 00:05:46.360 But most of it is, is like a plant for processing the other animals. 00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:53.800 So it's kind of seen as this like, David and Goliath story of like... 00:05:56.110 --> 00:06:02.410 you know, like a victory for the farmers. 00:06:02.540 --> 00:06:07.000 But no one thinks of the turkeys though. 00:06:30.080 --> 00:06:35.180 I also have to be careful because eventually they're gonna wonder 00:06:35.180 --> 00:06:40.240 why I'm doing so many drive-bys with an iPhone. 00:06:42.580 --> 00:06:47.800 So again here's the, some of the trucks are in here full. 00:06:48.310 --> 00:06:50.910 All of these were full. 00:07:03.700 --> 00:07:10.240 OK, so that's kind of, that's kind of the runaround there. 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:27.900 I mean, and you know there's like a (sigh) 00:07:27.900 --> 00:07:29.820 like I said there's a playground right there... 00:07:29.820 --> 00:07:36.080 There's, you know, kids playing in their houses right next to... 00:07:36.300 --> 00:07:39.840 This shed of turkeys. 00:07:41.610 --> 00:07:46.729 It's heartbreaking. 00:07:46.729 --> 00:07:50.629 I don't think... 00:07:50.629 --> 00:07:53.249 I don't know if I have enough battery guys 'cause like, 00:07:53.249 --> 00:07:58.489 I mean, I'm on... I'm like charging my phone literally plugged into this car, 00:07:58.550 --> 00:08:02.930 because I ran out of battery while filming the turkeys. 00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:10.200 So I don't know if I'm gonna be able to get enough charge to bring you guys back... 00:08:11.020 --> 00:08:14.600 To bring you back for the turkeys. I'm hoping... 00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.460 Alright, I'm trying to see if I can... 00:08:20.460 --> 00:08:22.020 I can't see my battery right now! 00:08:22.020 --> 00:08:28.960 And, trying to check my batteries to see if I can take you guys back in there real quick. 00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:34.500 Before they take them. 00:08:34.500 --> 00:08:37.500 Alright... 00:08:38.430 --> 00:08:40.979 Alright guys, I'm going to... 00:08:40.979 --> 00:08:46.419 I'm gonna stop this stream really quick, and check my battery. 00:08:46.420 --> 00:08:54.080 And see if I have enough to be able to bring you guys back to the turkeys. OK? 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:04.060 I think we can make it work for just a little bit longer. 00:09:06.160 --> 00:09:12.120 Although they might be coming out soon, the workers. So we'll see. 00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:19.740 But, actually let's see if I can, let's see if I can keep you guys on here, and get out there. 00:09:19.850 --> 00:09:22.370 Hold on. 00:09:28.020 --> 00:09:31.560 I do have a video for you guys today by the way. 00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:36.460 I got the, it's another Gregor, it's a new Gregor video. 00:09:36.460 --> 00:09:38.880 And I, you know, I worked on it all night. 00:09:38.880 --> 00:09:43.660 I slept about 20 minutes so that I could get that video done and come here. 00:09:44.460 --> 00:09:52.040 So I'll still post that today but I just felt that this was really important 00:09:52.040 --> 00:09:55.740 to share with you guys as soon as I could. 00:09:55.850 --> 00:10:00.350 Alright, let's see if we can get back over there. (door opens and shuts) 00:10:13.620 --> 00:10:14.640 Alright. 00:10:21.340 --> 00:10:22.760 (tumbling noises) 00:10:22.760 --> 00:10:26.140 Oh! I dropped you! It's ok. 00:10:41.140 --> 00:12:10.860 (turkeys rustling and clucking) 00:12:12.140 --> 00:12:16.620 This is nothing to be thankful for. 00:12:17.300 --> 00:13:44.520 (turkeys rustling and clucking) 00:13:44.520 --> 00:14:18.700 (a turkey frantically clucks and struggles in another cage) 00:14:18.700 --> 00:15:10.820 (turkeys rustling and clucking) 00:15:10.820 --> 00:15:14.640 You know they have personalities, 00:15:14.800 --> 00:15:18.080 and they certainly want to live. 00:15:22.300 --> 00:15:27.860 Even if we, even if we say that they're not intelligent, which I don't believe, 00:15:28.020 --> 00:15:34.700 intelligence doesn't have anything to do with wanting to live and with feeling pain. 00:15:37.700 --> 00:15:41.640 It's just one of the justifications we try to use. 00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:48.600 I mean look at them and tell me that they don't know any better. 00:15:48.600 --> 00:26:04.800 (turkeys rustling and clucking) 00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:17.480 A truck load of turkeys this morning.
