A worker at a Lewisburg, West Virginia turkey plant was sentenced yesterday to one year of home confinement for stomping on a bird's head and slamming another to the ground. The abuse that was caught on videotape at the Aviagen Turkeys Inc. plant during an undercover PETA investigation.
Edward Eric Gwinn of Crawley (WV) will be jailed if he violates the terms set by Greenbrier County Circuit Judge James Rowe, who also fined Gwinn $1,000 and ordered him to have no contact with domestic animals.
Both Gwinn and Scott Alvin White of Second Creek (WV) were indicted on felony charges in February, but each pleaded guilty to two animal cruelty misdemeanors in April. White was sentenced on June 8, 2009 to one year in jail, but can petition for home confinement. Both men were also fired by their employer.
