The group, Farm Animal Rights Movement, held a protest outside the Perdue Farms headquarters on old Ocean City Road yesterday.
It was part of the 30th Annual World day for Farmed Animals targeting slaughterhouses and other animal agriculture facilities.
The group is protesting the killing of animals for food and encourages people to go meatless.
Jen Riley, managing director of the group told WBOC, that animals are crammed into small windowless sheds with no space to move or breath.
Meanwhile, Bill Satterfield, executive director of Delmarva Poultry Incorporated, said that the industry has an obligation to treat the animals humanely with the National Chicken Council setting guideline for catching, feeding and watering them.
