Please see the following statement from PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman in response to reports that a 16-year-old worker at a Mississippi slaughterhouse died on Friday from injuries, the latest incident in Mar-Jac Poultry\u2019s history of exploiting minors<\/a>:<\/p>\n

This child\u2019s death was tragic and unconscionable, and because children don\u2019t belong inside slaughterhouses any more than chickens do, PETA asks everyone to wipe their hands clean of supporting slaughterhouses by eating vegan.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
