Former workers at a chicken processing plant who were caught on tape allegedly kicking, stomping and slamming chickens against the wall will not face criminal charges, a prosecutor said.
Ginny Conley, head of a state prosecutors' organization, said that while the incident at the Pilgrims Pride plant in Moorefield was disturbing, it does not warrant criminal charges because "these were chickens in a slaughterhouse." The plant serves as a supplier to KFC restaurants.
"It needs to be handled more on a regulatory end than prosecuting someone criminally," she said.
