(Before It's News)

We featured a video from this guy a couple days ago, looks like Perdue isn't happy about him telling the truth…

Almost immediately after the animal welfare group Compassion in World Farming released a video exposing the “humane” (read: atrocious) conditions for chickens raised on a factory farm for Perdue, the poultry giant audited the farmer who opened his doors to the cameras.

New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, who originally reported on the video, called attention to the none-too-coincidental timing of this turn of events:

Speaking with journalist Christopher Leonard, the farmer, Craig Watts, said that he too suspected that the audit was direct retaliation for the video. If he fails the audit, he faces disciplinary action, including losing his contract with Perdue.
