two major companies who
Exploit animal bodies on mass scale. I'm shocked they'd exploit children's bodies too 🥴
yeah, but animals don't matter /s
Apparently neither do children.
Now now, they aren’t complete monsters. It’s only OTHER PEOPLE’s kids that don’t matter to them. Well and other races, and other countries, and probably a bunch more.
Imagine a world where RICO was used to prosecute things like this instead of peaceful protesters.

I feel like I just read a story about children working in meat processing factories. Guess we're skipping right to The Jungle then.
On the one hand, do I think they did it? 100% yes. On the other, am I surprised the law is signaling they might do something about it? Also yes.
There have been dozens of credible reports of such violations, of children being maimed and losing limbs even, and now finally there's a probe? Watching the law take this much time to announce it will begin to investigate what's been in the news for years almost convinced me it didn't want to do it at all.
Does this mean they are going to discontinue the Tyson Boneless Children Fingers?
"Tyson Boneless Breaded Childrens Fingers" sounds like it was typed up by someone dyslexic, but could also be an interesting Halloween product (made of candy hopefully) 😆
But. Why do the kids need to work in the first place
Because we're trending towards 3-4 income houses being required to make rent.
That's the dream
They yearn for the mines
