| has anyone see this ? I just had this sent to me by email...I will never buy another tyson product. The Humane Society of the United States released undercover video footage revealing egregious cruelty and filthy conditions at a Wyoming pig breeding facility owned by a supplier to Tyson Foods. Watch our footage and take action: http://bit.ly/Jx3pu4.. You will be shocked as I as. |

| I have just watched a video from HSUS, of which I am a member. It showed how your employees take great pleasure in abusing the livestock. I think it was the most disgusting thing I have seen in a while. These "people" you have working,[ or should I say TORTURING ] there are the most barbaric, soulless, inhumane things I have encountered in many years. They are not employees. They are heartless criminals, at best! I realize these animals were bred as food, BUT that doesn't make ok to brutalize them until you finally kill them. People that do these things are mentally unstable and cowards as well.They probably beat their wives and kids too. I find it a shame that the "animals" behave better than the "people" handleing them. I for one will never again buy ANYTHING from your company or subsiduaries either. Anyone that derives pleasure from hurting a helpless animal is worthless to anyone, and they cannot be rehabilitated. I only hope that some of the people that read this will look up the video I was referring to. humanesociety@hsus.org |

Sirs,
Can't begin to tell you how upset I am with the cancellation of Labor Day as a paid holiday (AMERICAN HOLIDAY), and the muslim observation of ramadan. You are contributing to the selling of, or should I say-giving away for our United States. Have bought Tyson products for years, but no more. No more. I will change my entire diet if I have to, but no more Tyson products for me, and for whomever I talk to among my friends, they will know too, if they don't already know of this disgraceful policy. So, I shall simply say-shame on you, and GOODBYE. |

| I hate Tyson Chicken! Tyson should be banned from producing meat. I have to do a report on this subject and some of the things I have found out are awful! For example Tyson pumps up thier chickens with large amounts of salt water while the chickens are bein packaged. I'm very sorry Tyson, but I just don't thikn anyone should buy your products or support your company. You guys could really do better than this. |
| Cyndee Edwards | 5/19/12 |
I just watched the Video of how your employees treat pigs and it made me and others who watched it cry,thm prro pigs and even the piglets.. cause of that video and your cruelty of pigs, I and my family will not eat ANYTHING that your company makes,the only way I and others who saw it and who are my friends will eat what you make is that this cruelty stops.. I would like to go there and teach them jerks what the Pigs feel like and that they throw the piglets.the video is being passed around on Facebook and You Tube. Hope all the folks that got caught in the video in shunned by family and friends, I am glad that I do not have someone that works there, cause I for 1 would not associate with someone that does that to any kind of animal.
Please check into this and get them straightened out or fire the ones in th video an bring in new people..

| I am sick and tired of Tyson Foods bleeding this town dry. They refuse to hire white people...period. This town is a third-world country now. Tysons brought an influx of illegal Mexicans and HIV infected Somolians and whatever else they could find to get corporate tax breaks into my town. These black people cannot even drive, but they are are allowed permits becasue they are over 21 (they all seem to have the same birthdate - 01/01/19xx. They are causing accidents to the people that belong here and causinging our insurance rates to increase. And what about these Muslim holidays and crap? Tyson built a "prayer room" into thier plant. I sure didnt see them cater to my religious ways. The entire country is being run on how to make the biggest buck. What about taking care of business and the community? The only thing Tyson does for this town is hand out some free chicken every once in awhile so a non-profit group has to do all the work of raising money to fund itself. How demeaning!! Tyson should be helping and contributing every chance it gets to help this community and the town its destroying!!!!!! Stop hiding behind your income statement and fix the wrong you have done. More people, means more wear and tear on our roads, more room in our schools, more water, more waste, more trash, more, more, more...And they dont care about any of it - not event the methane leaking out of the bubble onto our campgrounds and visitors, the REAL INCOME that this town survives off of. |

| Garden city kansas | 3/31/12 |
| If I would win the lottery even if i would be rich right now I would ask tyson foods here in garden city ks or other beef packing or sloughter planta to make a contract for life to the company I would domate 100.000,000 millions dollars to the company I would want to raise everyones salary by $3.00hr because I know and I see how hard their work is and I know people are worth more then busting their buts off then making enough money to raise their family!!! And thats working both couples!!!!Why cant they just pay more!! Its not like its gonna hurt them at all. They make lots of money!!! A day and plus that will make help the economy here in the United States!! Plus it will help Tyson to because people making more money means more meat for their homes to feed l!!! Im I right!!! Sorry to post this TYSON FOODS but its an fact and its a win win situation for us!! I post this because I worked there and have family that work there and tyson wouldnt have to hire people all the time because they quit. You would save money and make more money at the time!!!!!!!

| Kevin McDowell | 2/14/12 |
I would really like to know why the Tyson's in Logansport, IN does not do re-hires? Out of 327 or so Tyson's plants it is the only one that would not do this. I have not worked there for over ten years and still no re-hire. The lady in the main office is rude and mean to those people trying to get a job there if they have worked there before. I feel discriminated against!! I have not worked their since it was IBP and did not leave on bad terms nor was I fired. I would really love an explanation as to why this is. My E-mail address is scorpiojoe76@yahoo.com if you actually read these things than please replywith an answer to why this is happening. Thank you and if all else send somebody in that establishment undercover just to see how they treat people it is rather rude and disgusting!

| I am glad to hear that a corporation has not bowed to gross socialists by continuing to celebrate the disgusting holiday of Labor Day that celebrates anti-capitalist sentiment. |

| DENNY'S IN BARSTOW CA. HAS THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED! I WENT INTO THE RESTAURANT ON MY BIRTHDAY (12.23.11) FOR THE FREE BIRTHDAY BREAKFAST BEFORE STARTING MY DAY OF SHOPPING. CARLOS TOOK MY ORDER, I SHOWED HIM MY ID TO PROVE IT WAS MY B-DAY. HE HAD TO CONFIRM THE ORDER WITH TWO OTHERS BEFORE SUBMITTING IT TO THE COOK. ONCE IT WAS READY, THEY PICKED UP EVERY ORDER BEFORE MINE; I SAT IN DISBELIEF. IT SAT THERE SO LONG, THE WAITRESS(MARIA)THAT FINALLY PICKED IT UP, ONLY AFTER I ASKED IF I WAS GOING TO EVEN GET IT, ASKED THE COOK(JESUS)TO REWARM IT. IT IS OBVIOUS IF YOU LIVE IN BARSTOW, NOT TO GO INTO IT'S DENNY'S RESTAURANT FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY MEAL, BECAUSE IF YOU DO, YOU JUST MIGHT NOT GET IT. I WAS SO DISGUSTED BY THEIR TREATMENT, I COLLECTED THEIR NAMES, STORE NUMBER, CORPORATE NUMBER, AND LEFT. I WILL NEVER GO TO EAT THERE EVER, NEVER AGAIN! |
| ELICIA EDWARDS | 12/28/11 |
| I DO NOT CARE WHAT ANYONE HAS TO SAY THAT WOULD PUT TYSON FOODS IN A BAD LIGHT; THEY HAVE THE BEST CHICKEN PRODUCTS I HAVE EVER EATEN! THEIR PATTIES AND STRIPS ARE OUR FAMILY'S FAVORITE. WHEN I SEE HOW THEY DONATED SO MUCH FOOD PRODUCTS TO COMMUNITIES LIKE ON THE HOME MAKEOVER WITH TY PENNINGTON, BEING PLEASANTLY SURPRISED IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT, AND OUR FAMILY WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT TYSON FOODS. |
| fred | 12/15/11 |
| Dear Sirs, this is to let you know. i will not be buying any tyson products. I'm disgusted with your changing an american holiday to a muslim holiday. Your killing of chickens facing mecca is also disgusting. You should have the chickens butt's facing there. This is an afront to all americans. I am urging all my associates not to buy any of your products.When i go to a restaurant i ask who supplies their chicken if it is yours i get up and leave. TElling the management why. I hope you change this disgusting trend. fred |

Tyson Foods is the biggest food processing company in history. They’ve changed the way chickens are raised. It used to take from 70 to 90 days to raise a chicken, but they grow their chickens in about 49 days using growth hormones. I do not eat any meat from Tyson Foods because what they’re doing is cruel. The chicks can’t keep up with the rapid growth of their bodies. Their internal organs and bones can’t handle the weight and they collapse. Tyson Foods is not abusing chicken, but also supplying contaminated beef. Tons of investigators have asked to see their slaughterhouses and chicken houses, but have been denied. What are they hiding from us?
In 2004 and 2007, PETA directed an undercover investigation of a Tyson slaughterhouse in Alabama. According to the PETA article, “Tyson Workers Torturing Birds,” the investigator saw men urinate “in the live hang area, including on the conveyor belt that moves birds to slaughter” multiple times. Other workers threw birds violently. One worker confessed that he beat a chicken and broke its back, and another acknowledged that he had hung birds from the shackles by their necks instead of their legs. Some birds died when their heads became trapped under the conveyor belt that transported live birds to be hung. The investigator informed his supervisor that the “killing machine blade often cut birds’ bodies instead of their throats” and he did nothing to stop it (“Tyson”). The supervisor was also caught on videotape “telling him that it was acceptable to rip off the heads off live birds who had been improperly shackled by the head” (“Tyson”).
Most slaughterhouses use electrical stunning baths as a method to prevent blood. This procedure passes an electrical current through each of the birds’ brains. This barbaric and torturous system deprives the birds of their senses and causes unnecessary suffering.
There are breakdowns almost daily at such massive food processing companies. During these breakdowns, the workers cannot remove the birds from the stunning or else they will also get shocked. The lines also move extremely fast. There’s a reason why meat packing is one of the most dangerous jobs in the nation. The workers must struggle to keep the meat “clean.”
Before cows get to the processing plants they are at the factory farms feeding. Most of the time, they are knee deep in manure. Factories and companies like Tyson, are now feeding animals antibiotics and growth hormones to reduce the amount of bacteria like RGBH. The United States is the only developed nation to permit humans to drink milk from cows given artificial growth hormones. It’s been banned from use in Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Japan and all European Union countries.
All these unnatural antibiotics and growth hormones lead to bacteria even though that’s what they’re trying to reduce. The communities near factory farms contain carbon monoxide gas in the air, because the factory farms are adding so many constant doses of antibiotics just to keep their animals alive. Some of the experimental growth hormone and antibiotics are laced with arsenic, which is found in their chickens and pork as well.
When contaminated food is ingested, you can get E. coli 0157:H7. This bacteria causes severe damage to the intestinal lining and kidney failure. Every year thousands of people are ill and some die from E. coli. In 2009, Tyson Foods refused to supply beef to Costco. Costco has a policy that tests for Escherichia coli O157:H7, but Tyson Foods declined because they didn’t want their meat tested.
Small, independent family farms are less likely to use antibiotics and growth hormones. They produce smaller quantities of meat, causing them to work slower and always have “clean” meat. There aren’t many real family farms left. Over 2 million family farms have been shut down since the 1950’s. Greedy agriculture corporations are only looking to make profit. They always have slogans like “farm fresh bacon.” In reality, they have turned sustainable family farms into factories. Animals are packed as closely together as possible. Some animals never see sunlight and others can’t turn around. They’re so overcrowded that fights break out. Factories have started debeaking chickens.
When calfs are born, they are immediately separated from their mothers. They are fed milk replacement that’s made in part from cow’s blood. All Americans that sell cows at a livestock auction barn have to sign a paper that state that we do not feed our cows any part of another cow.
Tyson has been hiding a lot of things from us. Not only are we risking our health by eating their meat, but we are supporting the cruel abuse of animals. It is up to us the consumers to boycott Tyson Foods.

| Shame on you tyson for your handling of the walkout at the noel, mo plant on oct 21 by the muslim employees. I heard the union rep tell them if they walk out, they were terminated. then low and behold on monday they all get their jobs back. you sure would not handle it the same if a white baptist walked off the job! it would be job abandopment, and termination, no matter what the reason. SHAME ON YOU TYSON! |
| Nikki Shelton | 10/5/11 |
| I think this is a shame what Tyson has done. This is the United States of America. Labor Day is A National holiday. For nationalized American citizens. If these Muslims don't like the way things are done in this country why don't they take their turban and majic carpets and fly right out of here. If you go to their country you have to adjust to their customs. When they come here they should do the same thing. Tyson you will loose alot of your business from the tax paying, hard-working nationalized cities of America because you sold out to the muslims. I hope it was worth it. |
| Mike Lovings | 9/26/11 |
Dear Sir:
I would encourage your management to consider American consumers over minority employees. Has all the world gone mad? I assume that you would fire any native employees who dared to wear an American flag on their lapel. Not that you seem to be concerned, but I won't be using more of your products.
Sincerely,
Mike Lovings |

purchased and cooked Tyson Fresh Chicken Drumsticks & Tyson Fresh Chicken Thighs
- their was so much blood coming out of each piece of chicken and blood filled the entire bottom of my baking pan. -
Will never purchase another Tyson product again. |
| Patti | 8/8/11 |
Personally, I believe everyone should do a genealogy research of their own families before they criticize where anyone else comes from. They might be surprised. It's nothing short of ignorant to think that anyone with the label 'Muslim' can be anything other than American. Many of them are second and third generations born on this soil. Take off the bigot blinders, America, and realize you're only here because of your ancestors. Besides, labels are petty.
I will continue to buy Tyson products because I know first hand what it's like to do the work those employees do. |
| TAMELA | 8/8/11 |
| I HAVE ALWAYS PURCHASED TYSON CHICKEN. AFTER READING A VERY DISTURBING ARTICLE REGARDING AN AMERICAN HOLIDAY "LABOR DAY" AND YOUR SUPPORT FOR A MUSLIM HOLIDAY.....YOU ARE AN EMBARRASSMENT TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. I WILL NEVER BUY / SUPPORT ANY OF YOUR PRODUCTS. I WILL BOYCOTT! YOU MAKE ME WANT TO THROW UP ~ ANY ONE THAT TURNS THEIR BACK ON AMERICA AND SUPPORTS MUSLIM TERRORIST, WELL.... I HOPE MANY MORE AMERICANS WILL NOT BUY ANY OF YOUR PRODUCTS! |
| American Patriot | 8/8/11 |
Tyson Management, you have no idea what you've done with your poor decision to eliminate an American traditional holiday. I will make it a personal mission to discourage any purchase of your products.
We the American public demand you move your company out of the United "United States". Even if you don't you're going to see a drastic reduction in your product sales. Way to go!
If you ever thought social networking was a good thing, you're about to change your mind. |
| N. Brown | 8/16/11 |
Shame, shame on you and your company. Americans helped build your company yet you do something so disgusting as to slap us in the face. I will not buy any of your products again.

| Bought Tyson mini chicken sandwiches. The buns were hard and very small. The chicken was good size and tasty, but you don't understand that a lot of seniors will be eating this as the main meal. My dentures and husbands dentures could not handle the tough buns. You will have to do better, cannot recommend them to anyone. |
| marandlen | 8/20/11 |
| We will no purchse any Tyson food product and when in the grocery store and see someone even looking at the product we will tell them the story of Tyson no longer honoring the long-time honored tradition of Labor day in favor of the muslim holiday. |
| NBH | 8/27/11 |
| I will NOT be buying anymore Tyson products after reading about your elimination of Labor Day in favor of the Muslim holiday! Have you forgotten where you are? This is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!! Labor Day has and always will be an American holiday! Do you not realize that most Muslims are determined to take over this country and make it Muslim!!! This is their "caliphate"! Read the book "The Terrorists Nextdoor" by Eric Stahlbeck. It will scare you to death! Besides that your product isn't worth giving up my patriotism for my country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Cinder Block | 8/29/11 |
You are ALL traitors and liars,and if I HAD MY WAY you would ALL be sent straight to the firing squad along with all of your subhuman and I might add,ILLEGAL employees.It evidently hasn't been enough that you have given away all your jobs over to Mexican illegals,but now you've invited in Somalis and OTHER trash from the third world to substitute,for YOUR BENEFIT of course,for American citizens who are not convicts.Naturally with the current administration in power I don't expect to see any sort of legal action taken against you or the REST of the poultry production industry any more than the former corporatist liars in Washington did anything to penalise you,but at least you will know that I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANY OF YOUR PRODUCTS!!!Your fat,useless,pigshit CEOs all on corporate welfare might benefit from your treason, BUT FOR THE MOMENT ONLY!
In case you haven't realized it yet the economy is dead and WHEN it finally collapses once and for all,YOU WILL SUFFER WITH IT.And the scum you've hired will go running back to their dungheap country only to be massacred by their own people who DON"T WANT THEM!
BURN IN HELL! |
| Sheri G. | 8/29/11 |
I can't believe You have traded our American Holidays for people that seem to be OFFENDED by Just about everything TRUE Americans STAND FOR. I don't care how many of them you employ, maybe you should give more jobs to American's then you wouldn't have this issue!!! if they came here for our freedoms then why are they trying to Destroy OURS???? fair is fair!!! why don't they go back home if they are offended by our Church crosses, Nativity scenes and HOLY BIBLES? then they sure won't have to worry about seeing any! and everyone else who has come here finds a way to co-exist Why Do they refuse? and they want us to feel sorry for them as persecuted because of a few outside radicals?? sounds like they all want to wipe out the way of life they came here to enjoy?? I will not support your company by buying any of your products!
If you don't have the Patriotism to stand up for America then you should move your company to their countries and see if they will let you sell your chickens there! Try Afganistan I don't think there people will prosper you as well as America has!!!
maybe the rest of us are offended by YOU!! think about that!!! |
| Harley Bayer | 9/3/11 |
Never, never again will my family purchase any Tyson Food Products. I am an American and I will support American products and American companies only. How dare you disgrace the American people by your "Labor Day" policy. Shame on you.
It's bad enough we tax payers have to support "illegals" in this country and now we have to give up our Holidays for theirs? What are you Tyson people....Morons? |
| June Schickler | 9/15/11 |
| I don,t agree with your decision to change the Labor Day National holiday to a Muslim religious holiday. You come to America, work in America then become an American or stay in the country you left. Don't change us. Tyson you should have let the Muslim people take a vacation/personal day for their regilious day. After all I thought you were an American Company, I guess not. |
| Beth | 9/5/11 |
| Unhappily, I have no choice, but to reside in Arkansas, where Tyson is "King". As a farm-girl from Kansas, where we raised chickens for our own use, I know what "cleaning" a chicken entails, and Tyson does not do it! Feathers and pin-feathers are left on, as are those nasty "organs" in the spine. In addition, it is apparent that many of the chickens suffer extreme cruelty by blunt force, before/as dying. Disgusting. Let us also delight in having an entire "neck" left attached to a whole chicken, to add a little more weight, and no edible meat of any consequence, as Tyson does the "cha-ching". Too often, I am on the highways, seeing truckloads of chickens on their way to the Tyson plant, dying in the incredible heat due to over-crowding, and exposure. And now, discredit an American Holiday in favor of a population with an ideology that is at war with us, and demanding we [a nation built on Judaeo/Christian beliefs] die as "infidels"? We are succumbing, as helpless chickens, to the heat and over-crowding of this ideology that Tyson now supports. Tyson is "ground zero" for shut-down by boycott! Yes, they could stay in business, by preparing only PORK products! Yep, "Pork, the other white meat". Everyone, please take this to your dinner table! Oh, yeah, Thanks to "Google" for all the "Muslim" links. Very nice. |
| Harry | 9/6/11 |
| Its circulating on the internet that you have 700 Muslims working for you. You have eliminated our national holiday to please foreigners. I am very wary of Muslims. I saw what they did in N.Y. I saw them kill all over the world. I saw them cut heads off on tv. Not all pit bulls bite, but the odds are they will and have!... As a good, devout American, I can only as....What have you done Tyson?.... I'm afraid of what Muslims are doing all over the world and now I'm afraid of YOU ! Goodbye Tyson products !!!!! |
| Theresa Friesen | 9/8/11 |
| Shame Shame Shame on you Tyson Foods!! I will pay double price on another chicken product rather than buy ANYTHING TYSON FROM NOW ON!! I am sure you could have come up with a different solution for your 'Holiday' problem...Shame Shame Shame!!! |
| Krystal | 8/26/11 |
| As I have read other reviews on the Tyson website recently, I am glad to hear that I am not the only one who will no longer be buying Tyson products anymore. My husband and I saw the FOOD, INC documentary yesterday and it was appauling to say the least. To know the truth about where our food is really coming from has deeply changed the way this family will veiw buying meat. Tyson is a huge and powerful company that portrays no concern/care for the animals they raise, or the families they provide for. It is clear that this company is strictly looking at one goal - and that is to make more money! The animals are raised in AWFUL conditions, (and thats an understatement) inhumane conditions, and given so much growth hormone (and other stuff) that they gain weight too fast to the point of not even being able to carry their own weight to be able to walk! Disgusting.... I hope that everyone will watch FOOD, INC and learn about where their food source really comes from, and what it contains. We all need to keep ourselves informed so that we can have some sort of say (Theres power in groups!) about how our meat/poultry is raised, for ours, and our childrens health sake. With enough people involved, it would help bring attention to forcing companies like TYSON, PERDUE and SMITHFIELD to better their animal raising conditions and environments, etc. Please, educate yourself, and learn about the companies that you buy meat/poultry/eggs from. Re-think the health and safety of your family... E.Coli and other deadly illnesses are spread like crazy in these horrifying conditions of careless, ruthless people acting like they care, just to earn another dollar. |
| N TAYLOR | 7/11/11 |
I AM APPALED AT YOUR NEW POLICY. I WILL DEFINITELY NOT BE BUYING ANY OF
YOUR PRODUCTS, AND I WILL BE PASSING THE EMAIL REGARDING THIS TO EVERYONE
I KNOW.( IN CALIFORNIA) SHAME ON YOU. WHY DON'T YOU RELOCATE YOUR PLANT
TO THE MUSLIM COUNTRIES? THAT IS WHERE YOU SHOULD BE.

I am giving Tyson chicken a poor rating because the quality of their chicken is poor, due to the crowded facilities, unsafe conditions for the animals, lack of concern about natural animal behaviors and how that impacts the health of the chicken, and sub-par environmental protections.
I am, however, incredibly saddened to read the comments by other consumers regarding the adoption of a Muslim holiday to accommodate the many Muslim refugees that make minimal wages, likely receive no health care, are exposed to an unsafe work environment, and had to leave their families to work in a country that tells them "if they want to live here, they should adopt our customs."
If we think back to why people came to this country originally, wasn't it because they wished to leave an intolerable society that told them everyone was required to believe the same things, have the same religions, etc.? The beauty of America is our tolerance for other views, and the encouragement for people to be free to worship how we wish. Would you be submitting the same comments if a large number of the workers were Jewish and Tyson decided to make Yom Kippur or Rosh Hashanah a scheduled holiday?
Isn't the purpose of Labor Day to celebrate labor organizations, the rights of workers, and trade unions? If the employees or "laborers" vote by majority not to receive this day off in exchange for another day that means more to them honoring exactly what labor day is meant to celebrate? I.e., the rights of laborers? We should be celebrating Tyson's willingness to do this rather than deciding not to buy their products because of this singular fact. You should consider the health impacts of their chicken and not buy it for those reasons rather than for the reasons you've stated, which are based on thoughts and ideas that run completely contrary to the ideals of this country, as expressed in our Constitution.
This close minded hatred of all things Muslim is an incredibly sad movement in this country and makes me concerned about how our country is becoming exactly what it was never meant to be. I don't mean to criticize anyone's viewpoint, but only hope that you read these comments with an open mind. |
| Dale Carpenter | 7/20/11 |
| Shame on you Tyson! This Muslim holiday might get you a mention or two from our current president, but cost you much in sales. Count me out as a customer. |
| Rickey Redneck | 7/21/11 |
Tyson chicken isn't good enough to feed to my dogs. I am having a large newspaper ad in this area of TN STATING NOT BUY YOUR MUSLIM SHIT.
ADDITIONALLY we will protest at the local stores to not stock your chicken muslim shit. |
| Alex KaminskI | 8/5/11 |
| We may not be able to change your minds about the Labor Day hoilday switch to a muslim holiday, BUT I CAN CHANGE MY MIND AND NOT BUY ANYMORE OF YOUR PRODUCTS , THIS IS AMERICA, NOT SOMOLIA, THIS IS HOW THESE PROBLEMS START, ONE LITTLE CHANGE THEN BEFORE LONG THERE ARE LAWS SHOVING MUSLIM LAWS DOWN OUR THROATS. |
| Mark E. LaFortune, Ph.D | 7/22/11 |
| In replacing the Labor Day holiday with Ramadan, your company has entered into a religious, congressional, and economic war against the United States of America. The replacement of an American holiday, which is recognized and approved by the Congress of the United States, with an Islamic aspiration not recognized by our Congress is a meaningless frivolity. The Judeo-Christian population recognizes that those who keep Ramadan do not have the best interest in mind of Christians and Jews in America, nor of the nation of Israel, especially regarding the labor force. Anyone desiring to annihilate the long established American Judeo-Christian Labor Day holiday, replacing it with an Islamic meliorism that is appreciated only in Muslim circles, certainly does not have the constitutional interest of all workers in mind for a betterment of condition or state. This demonstrates a duplicitous use of the free enterprise system code of holidays depriving all, except Muslims, to participate in Ramadan. The fairness of Labor Day is that anyone and everyone may participate. However, it is evident to me that your action in making an elimination of Labor Day in an exchangement with Ramadan is a violation against the U.S. Constitution, the Congress of the U.S., The Declaration of Independence, Judeo-Christian principles, and American work ethics, as well as socio-political moral coding for American life. As a consequence of your anti-American business practice, I denounce what you have done, and as a free American who supports Labor Day, I and my family, friends and neighbors and fellow-American with whom I share this information will NEVER purchase your products from this day forth. You have lost a great deal of business, as this will be voluminously made known to our community and state. God bless America, as she supports Judeo-Christian laws, principles, practices, beliefs, and socio-political government, community life, and holidays! Happy Labor Day! |

| for those that refuse to buy tyson products I dont blame you. I have dealt with this company for years and I can tell you Ive never seen a more corrupt practice. They put up a very good front BUT behind the scenes its all about that dollar. They would cut your childs throat to save a penny. Don't take my word for it. Do a search. I am a farmer that grows chickens for them. I refuse to give my name or any other information due to extreme fear. First you must understand why the farmers fear. 10+ years ago I was doing pretty well. I had recently got married and started a family. we had just bought our first home. The local Tyson plant had been here for approx 5 years and I had heard about this chicken farming business but never really considered it. Then one day out of the blue the office I worked in closed up shop and moved 3 hours away. I was now unemployeed with a family to feed and bills to pay. I decided to try this farming thing. I managed to find a local farm for sale. A very nice farm 200,000 house sitting on 105 acres of land with a giant pond for me and my kids to fish in. It also had 8 poultry barns on it. asking price = 1.3 mil. I got excited. this was a dream. Could I really afford this huge operation? Could I really do it? Now my biggest mistake. I used Tyson Foods as my research. With no other understanding of the chicken business I went to Tyson and just asked about it. I was told that This was a great business to be in. They even took me to farms that were doing very well and really SOLD me on the idea of being a chicken farmer. claims that a farmer can make 10k/year off each barn they own. there is 80 barns on this property. thats 80k/year. WOW.. Right? So I invested EVERY penny. I bought this farm. For the first few years it was ehh OK. I was not quite makeing the 10k they had promised. actually I was making more around 5k. BUT hey thats still 40k/year. I was getting by. Then costs started going up. For example a major expense for me is gas(propane). the first year I owned the farm I paid .82/gal for gas. this past year I paid 1.62/gal so over the years my gas bill has went up from 40k/year to 80k/year so remember I was only making about 40k/year and now with just 1 of the expenses all of my profit is gone. This happened slowly but surly. every year I made less and less. Now during this time tyson did give small raises and such but it nowhere near covered the price increases. This past year i lost money. Thats right.. I worked my butt off all year long and ended up in debt a extra 28,000. BUT hey. There is LIGHT at the end of this very long tunnel. I set my loans up on a 15 year note. AHH the big pay off right? I meen once i stop paying these huge loans I'll make so much money I can swim in it. I pay the bank 120,000 a year. that will be so awesome. I'll just struggle til then. we can do without for a while. Now with 4 years to go on my loans Tyson foods Calls me in for a meeting. The purpose of this meeting it to inform me that they need me to make some upgrades to my farm. Very expensive upgrades. in fact the estimate I have is over 500,000. Now.. these upgrades will come with a raise from Tyson BUT as usual they will only cover about half of what the payments on the new loans would be. While it is Not required that I make these upgrades. They strongly encourage them. They try to sell it saying that I will produce so much better therefor make so much more money.. I have resisted the upgrades for a while now. Tyson foods has become more and more hostile towards me. I do have a contract. Understand tho that I havent read this contract since the first one. it could say I owe them a kidney and there is nothing I can do. when you owe a million dollars and they come to you and say you gotta sign here in order to get chickens this time. Well honestly you sign the damn paper. These contracts say that I cannot sue and pretty much Everything must be perfect. They always have said this but in the past they were not picky. You see here is the end. You see I have a problem at my farm. I wont go into details for fear of giving away who I am. it is a rather small problem that has built up over the years. does not affect the chicksn in any way. more of a ease of access issue. Tyson has NEVER said anything about it. recently they sent me a letter out of the blue that states if I don't fix this problem in 10 days Im no longer growing chickens. 10 days? really? I contacted everyone around to help and the soonest I can get someone is 3 weeks. They don't really care about this problem mind you. They want me to upgrade. if I dont invest this money They will run me out of business. I am screwed. I cant afford to upgrade and tie myself down for 15 more years not makeing ANY money. Obviously they are not gonna allow me to survive if I do not upgrade. So solution? Ohh Well I guess I'll just sell the farm. naa.. see thats not such a great idea. I owe 500,000 to bank for farm. another 100k-150k in other loans. so total debt is around 650k. in order to sell the barns they will "require" that the be upgraded. so any new buyer is going to have to put 500,000 on top of what he/she pays for the farm. already at 1.2mil starting price it would not cash flow. so basically right now I can sell it and just PRAY that after a decade of very hard work. maybe I can break even and restart my life. that is assumeing I can find someone willing to buy the place and I don't get forclosed on. This is just a Rant. I know none of you even care probably. BUT dont think this is just a case of a farm that made bad choices or did crappy work. Do some research for yourself. You will find hundreds of farmers that used to do business with tyson foods with a story that matches this one almost exactly. Some of them much worse that mine. several farmers have taken there own lives due to tyson's destructive practices. So far only 1 successful lawsuit has worked. |

| You stop our Labor Day and set up in favor of a Muslim Holiday! you can kiss my butt and I will never buy anything for you again! |
| h. boyer | 7/30/11 |
| IT INFURIATES ME TO KNOW THAT YOUR COMPANY FEELS YOUR MUSLIM EMPLOYEES NEED TO BE HONORED WITH A CELEBRATED HOLIDAY. IF I HAD THE POWER TO I WOULD DISCOURAGE EVERYONE EVERYWHERE TO STOP BUYING ANY PRODUCT MADE BY YOUR COMPANY AND ALSO ANY COMPANY AFFILIATED WITH YOURS FOR WHAT HAS BEEN DONE. A SLAP IN THE FACE OF EVERY WORKING AMERICAN. TAKE YOUR PRODUCTS AND SHOVE THEM! |
| Terri | 6/23/11 |
| Not only has your food quality dropped TREMENDOUSLY, your company has dropped the Labor Day holiday for the last day of Ramadan for your muslim employees! What the heck is the matter with ya'll??!!! THIS is America . . . founded on christianity. I will tell EVERYONE I know about this and your business will plummet . . . it may take time, but I guarantee you with policies like this and your food quality . . . you WILL fall! |
| Jasper | 6/25/11 |
| Wow, I am so shocked. I always thought the "customer" came first. Seems you are going to be losing many. Eat chicken for Ramandan! |
| flora class | 6/26/11 |
I know someone that works for Tyson Foods. He works second shift as a packer.He Talks about how the chicken is packed with blood and fat. He also talks about packing inferior chicken that he would not feed a dog. Where are the inspectors that are suppose to watch out for this sort of thing? Apparently, the quest is for quantity and not quality. I know that people are not treated fairly.
Now they are taking Labor Day away as a paid holiday in favor of another holiday for foreign employees. No wonder people buy Perdue chicken. Perdue chicken is cut evenly and is uniform size, which is more than I can say for Tyson.
Shame on you Tyson!!!!!!! |
| Jim Rice | 6/10/11 |
| I will not be buying any more of your products. Any products I have from tyson at this time will be discarded.You are a threat to America and the American way of life. If you are not a muslim you are an infedel and the muslims kill infedels. It's thier religeous beliefs. Ask Them! I dare you!!! I will pass this along to all the people I know. |
| P. CARDWELL | 6/13/11 |
| SO SORRY TO HEAR YOU HAVE TAKEN A MUSLIM STANCE OVER AN AMERICAN HOLIDAY....I HAVE PURCHASED YOUR PRODUCTS FOR YEARS....NO MORE....I WILL NEVER SPEND ANOTHER DIME ON TYSON PRODUCTS....I HOPE THERE ARE MILLIONS OF YOUR CUSTOMERS THAT FEEL THE SAME AS I DO..X CUSTOMERS OF TYSON FOODS....GOD BLESS AMERICA & AMERICAN HOLIDAYS...MAYBE YOU AND YOUR CHICKENS SHOULD RE-LOCATE TO A DIFFERENT COUNTRY... |
Katherine Chapman  | 6/14/11 |
Have sent Email to everyone I know and asked them to forward.
Will no longer purchase your products due to your changing Labor Day to
a Muslim holiday. Even tho you have so many muslims this is the United States and
we celebrate that day as LABOR DAY!!!!
Very unhappy camper!!!! |
| David Glogowski | 6/6/11 |
| I'm tired of everyone being politically "correct". Since Tyson has dropped Labor Day for a moslem holiday, I will be dropping Tyson products and using products from companies that respect their host country. |
| Bob Phelps | 6/4/11 |
| You un-American bastards should be tarred and feathered. Is there no Ku Klux Klan in your part of the country. Our national holidays are designated by Congress to honor men of honor. What has Somalia done for the US other than furnish cheap labor? I hope your chickens all end up with coccidiosis. You have received my last dollar............ |
| J. Ziegler | 5/25/11 |
Taking away an American Holiday for a Muslim Holiday is Un-American.... I and many of my acquaintances WILL NOT EVER BUY TYSON PRODUCTS..... Have a nice Muslim life. your company is a disgrace to the wonderful USA. |
| C. | 5/25/11 |
| Providing employment, housing, food, and government grants for "The Enemy," and giving their anti-Christian religion accommodation and priority in this, our own nation, while thousands of our own Tennesseans are unemployed, have lost housing, are in need of food for survival, and, above all, find themselves usurped by a people whose prophet and god must be honored; who could have imagined our society would come to this? May God help us. |
| Leo Beck | 5/18/11 |
I just learned that Tyson foods has traded Labor day for a Muslin holiday. I'm just one person and to let you know I will not purchase any product that is owned or is connected with Tyson food group. I shop at costco warehouse clubs as well as Sams clubs. I have celiac disease so I have to read labels on food products so I see who the product manufacture is. Any product made by or is own by Tyson food groups I will not be purchasing. Fry's markets as well as other markets here in Arizona carry your products, I shop there as well, again I will not be purchasing your products from them as well.
Like I said I will be reading labels and what is owned by Tyson or any product that is connected with Tyson I WILL NOT purchase.
If I were a member of the labor union that agreed to this, I think I would start a movement to change unions.
I will boycott any and all tyson products. |

| i dont appreciate tyson and what they are doing, they steriod cickens and there food is very unhealthy and fatty, i dont like this at all, and how you are killing your animals is very not good, you slaughter them inhumaniley and then its not even meat becuase you put so much chemicals into the animals before they die, its horrible and NEEDS TO STOP!!!!!!! i am not buying tyson ever because the one time i did i actually found out what was in the "chicken" its not right at all. so readers before you eat their meatproductus just take a look into whats its made up of, im sure tyson doesnt want you knwoing or taking out the chemicals put into the meat, ! enoughf!!!!!!! i will never eat tyson its discusting. so look into what you are eating next time, im sure you wouldnt want THAT going into your tummy!!!!!! |
| Dorothy Dalenberg | 5/6/11 |
| I just found out Tyson Foods is canceling Labor Day as a paid holiday in favor of a Muslim religious day. It is interesting how we can all cater to the Muslims, but Christians are called prejudice if we want to celebrate our religion. If you want to give Muslims the day off for their holiday, you have the right to do that, however, it should not effect the Labor Day paid holiday for the remainder of you workers. I will not buy Tyson products anymore unless I hear that you have revised this policy. |
| L. Yarberry | 4/30/11 |
| I just received this information in an e-mail today, and made sure it was true before responding to this outrageous act. This is one of the many things wrong with America today. Instead of being grateful to the people of this country for making you a successful company (by buying your products); you choose to slap them in the face by honoring a holiday that people from another country want. Why not just make one of your holidays a floating holiday and let your employees take it as they see fit whether on Labor Day, Ramadan, their birthdays, or other special days for them. I understand why you are probably sponsoring these Somalis Muslims in America, and I'm willing to bet they are working for a low wage, and corp is getting a kickback from the government for hiring them. The other employees probably voted for the holiday in fear based on the number of Somalis gangs that have formed in almost every state where there is a large population of Somalis. Look up the facts, and see what I mean. They are ruthless to their own people, much less those of other cultures. They don't want to be Americans. They just want to bring their old habits and ways of doing things to our country (and our government encourages this). The more chaos that can be created, the better it is for them. I will not be buying your products anymore, and I will share this with other people as well. No wonder the quality of your products is going down, since the people you hire have no sense of pride in themselves, the job they are doing, or the country they live in. If you're going to hire them, they should understand they need to adapt to our customs, our language, and honor our holidays or they should go Home. |
| andrew | 4/22/11 |
| i will never ever ever buy tyson chicken again i got sick from it i only BUY ORGANIC CHICKEN FROM WHOLE FOODS ITS WORTH EVERY PENNY PLEASE WATCH THE MOVIE FOOD, INC what tyson does to there chicken will have you throw up not to mention all the drugs they give the chickens they dont have any space to walk and you eat that everyday not me not anymore just watch the movie food inc you will never eat fast food or chicken from tyson again very corrupt company they care only about there money not the human beings that eat it hell they the workers probably dont even eat there own food |
| | 4/9/11 |
| To all the traitors at tyson foods,you are an embarrassment to America.How dare you replace an American national holiday with a muslim one simply because half of your workforce happens to be muslim.But i imagine you couldn't care less, since the other half of your workers are more than likely illegal aliens from mexico anyway.I can't wait to see what other demands either side of your workforce is going to make. I am sure that whatever the demands are,you'll cave in to them,since you don't seem to have a problem of selling out your country.Hopefully though,you will have a big problem with American shoppers. Have you ever given ahy thought of relocating your company to a foreign country? If not,please think about it. |
| Bill Cross | 4/9/11 |
| Since you no longer honor Labor Day but will instead give your employees a day off for a muslim holiday --- my family and those of my children will no longer purchase any product with your name on it. |
| Gale Stroud | 4/9/11 |
Tyson Food in Shelbyville , Tennessee has eliminated Labor Day as a paid holiday in favor of the last day of Ramadan because they have 700 Muslim employees.
Labor day has NOTHING to do with religion.. Because of your blatant disregard for the separation of Church and State I will no longer purchase your products.. I will recommend to all my friends, relatives and associates to discontinue supporting the Tyson Brand.. Effective immediately..

| kay | 4/11/11 |
| I DONT KNOW WHAT THE STARS MEAN. DONT CARE EITHER. I WILL NEVER, EVER BUY ANOTHER PRODUCT BY TYSON OR ANY OF THIER AFFILATES. I AM CONTATING EVERYONE ON MY EMAIL LIST WITH THIS MESSAGE. |
| Grady | 4/11/11 |
| I have been in the food process plants for 24 years,the last two with Tyson Foods.On employment with Tyson Foods,I was excited to be a team member and couldnt wait to get to work.Was hired on as a machine teck an worked second shift.On 7/7/2010 I was called out to my line to look for open packages while they went to lunch.I turned off the cooling water,vacumm,air supply and electrical and locked and taged the line out. I opened up final seal and checked for build up of film on rails and found none.I opened up preseal two and checked for same and found none,I opened up preseal one and leaned the head back on the zip line and found a built up of plastic on outboard rail.I checked Other two rails was clean and no loose screws to be found. While removing the film from the rail I had to cut the film so that I could get to the melted film on the rail and when I reached around to my right to get the knife the preseal one head fell on my left wrist causing a crush injury.The company nurse took me to ER and was told that I had chiped a bone in my wrist and that I had an old injury in my wrist. The next day I was taken by the company nurse to see another doctor at the clinic who put my wrist in a removable ace bandage and arm brace.After weeks of this I was still not getting any better and the pain wasnt going away so the company nurse took me to see another Doctor who gave me a shot in the wrist rewraped and was told that it was going to take time.After several weeks I was taken back to the doctor and was given another shot in the wrist which wasnt very plesent and was then sent to therapy for four weeks. At the end of that I was taken back to the doctor who now says that I need to have surgery on my wrist. He told me that he could give me some pills that would eat the lining of my stomach and be bad on my kiddneys and liver and kill a few bloodcells along the way are go in an fuse the wrist and be done with it.Now I have never had a problem with my wrist hurting while working for Tysons until the injury.Now that I need surgery I was layed off work on 1/10/2011 because Tysons says that I need the surgery because of an old injury not because of the new injury and that it is no longer medical it is now personal so I was layed off with out pay. I was told from HR that I had to find a doctor to release me back to work without restrictions before I could come back.So now I have an Attorney an who knows how much that is going to cost Tyson when all they had to do was take care of their on so called TEAMMATES,I would be going back to work but after reading about the changing of Labor Day,I guess things do happen for a reason. I am also a Viet Nam Vet |

I AM ASHAMED THAT WRIGHT PACKING SOLD THEIR BACON AND HAM CO.YO TYSON,MAYBEE THEY SHOULD TRANSFER ALL OF THE SOMALIS MUSLIMS TO VERNON TX.TO WORK WITH THE PORK PRODUCTS,NO WE DONT WANT THEM IN VERNON.
YOUR EXCUSE IS NON AMERICAN.
I HOPE THIS TEARS A HOLE IN YOUR SORRY POCKETBOOK.
NO MORE TYSON. |
| Jamie Crockett | 4/18/11 |
| I used to buy your products, but now that news has come out that you are canceling Labor Day for a muslim holiday offends me to NO END, and my family and myself will NEVER purchase another Tyson item. You have turned your back on America and are bowing down to islam. You DO have Christian Americans who work for you also, but you seem to not care about American workers or their opinions. You also don't seem to care about offending us either because you're too busy worrying about what muslims think. Shame on you!!!! |
| Chef Marty Grams, Delta, Pennsyhlvania | 4/20/11 |
As a chef and purchaser of Tyson products on a regular basis, I was shocked at the decison to replace Labor Day as a holiday and put in its place "Eid-al-Fitr" the Muslim holiday.
How do you skin an elephant? one piece at a time.
How do you take over a America? one freedom or right at a time.
I have always been taught to voice my opinion with my money, so as of now, I am no longer purchasing Tyson products. I will also be sure to let all the chefs and cooks that I know and work with how I feel and suggest that they do the same as well.
America can only stay strong, when we stay together!

| jan | 4/7/11 |
| I just read a little more about how Muslim women are treated by their husbands and it is appalling how we in America sit here and let Muslim people try to take over our country. In 20 years there will be enough Muslims in the US to elect a muslim president. Do we want this? It is companies like yours that are giving these people jobs. Shame on you!!!!!! |
| Melody Henry | 4/8/11 |
| I will no longer buy your products and have to say I am very disappointed in your company as a whole. My Grandfather, My father, My Brother In Law, My son have chosen to stand on the wall to defend the freedoms and rights of this Country. I am ashamed that you have chosen to turn your back on America and forget all of the individuals who have fought in the past and continue to fight now. This is indeed a sad day for Tyson Foods. I hope that word about your decision spreads like wildfire and that your decision weighs heavy on your hearts and souls. I will be in prayer for that. Good bye Tyson!!!!!!! |
| Mike Doke | 4/6/11 |
| What was your (Tyson) management thinking? You morons just gave your competition market share for nothing. They (your competition) must be laughing their way to the bank!!! I'm sure your Board of Directors will be having a "Come to Jesus" meeting with your plant manager for even allowing a vote for this "Holiday" preference. To balance things out for religous reasons, you could have allowed your Muslim employees to take an unpaid day off just like you do for your Catholic employees who take off Good Friday? What a bunch of schmucks!!!! Good luck gettinmg me back as a customer!!! |
| Cricket | 4/6/11 |
| I am a christ follower, and also a Tyson grower in North Carolina. I truly understand the anger the change has made by changing the holiday pay. But really have you prayed about it or just mouthed off. I'm not responsible for they action only mine. So please pray about without anger. There is not a single person on this earth can change or change the state of affair, but on our knees, my knees, your knees change can come and will come . As human, we just complain, get other upset and forget our conviction. What's your conviction? pray or complain |
| No Longer a Tyson Fan | 4/4/11 |
| I will no longer buy Tyson foods, period. That's how I feel about your decision to remove Labor Day, a long celebrated American holiday, for a non-American holiday. Shame on Tyson, I'll become loyal to an American brand. |
| Ralph Wood | 4/3/11 |
| I want to inform you of my extreme disappointment that you would even consider removing labor day and adding a Muslim holiday. I am even more upset that you would have that many Somali employees in a time when we have so many American citizens unemployed. Tyson is off of my grocery list. |
| S. Skjothaug | 3/30/11 |
| I will no longer buy Tyson products as well. You are in the United States. We as a country celebrate American holidays. When you step foot into the U.S. from another country, you either accept the way of life here or you don't. But do not expect Americans to confirm to your ways, in our country. Shame on you Tyson!!!!! |
| American Veteran | 4/1/11 |
As a proud American veteran that serived his country to protect our AMERICAN way of life. I choose to no longer support your company by buying your product.

Lo and behold, have found that it is not a story ... again, another cave in.
Shame ... This is America...Let's begin to hold our heads high and stop allowing
people to beat US around the heads and shoulders. The Right of religeous freedom
have been sullied and used to clean the very shoes these people throw at people they dislike or disrespect. Hello? |
| Karen | 3/28/11 |
| PLEASE NOTE!!! Read at the end of the remarks, before you make your comments is a note saying that "this is not to be used to contact Tyson Foods..." leave your comments if you want, but find an address for Tyson Foods and mail a letter if you want them to know how they feel! Personally, I feel like they should go do business somewhere else if they would prefer to hire other than Americans, the folks who have made them rich! |
| Kay Truett | 3/26/11 |
| Wish you had a "0" star rating. I'll never buy another piece of Tyson products again. Mainly, because I am not Muslim. |
| Teresa | 3/25/11 |
| Our family stopped buying Tyson YEARS ago. Apparently, it was a very wise choice. Shame on Tyson for all of their anti and ill treatments of people and animals. Check out these companies, and all of their holdings and stand firm on what and whom you choose not to support. Use you voice wisely and vote with your dollar! |
| B.E. McMurphi | 3/26/11 |
| My family will no longer purchase any Tyson products. I just heard about the Muslim holiday and I really can't believe it. I intend to inform everyone I know about this. The same as in another post, I too will research all of your products to make sure I buy nothing. |
| Larry Clark | 3/18/11 |
| I rated you one star, only because there are no negative grades offered. I also echo the statements aforementioned. Obviously, there have been Muslim's invading the Corporate ranks in the Tyson Corporation. Either that or some of them have NO BACKBONE WHATSOEVER. I venture to elect the former. Not only are they trying to do it in the Corporate arena, but they have an agenda to do it to our Political and Judicial systems as well. America had better pull its head out of its A_ _ and wake up. Tyson Foods is just one of many spineless corporations that don't give a damn about American values, but greatly favoring the greed and love for the almighty dollar, no doubt opting for the euro or the yen to a greater degree due to our own elected crooked politicians who have sold their souls to lobbyists paid by these foreign owned entities determined to degrade and destroy our very ideals and economy that so many have given their lives to uphold and protect. Not buying items from Tyson Foods....Oh hell yeah!!! Just for starters. And you can certainly bet that everyone I know will get the word too. If you don't like it, take your mats with you and go to some other country and bow to the east. Certainly not here. Everyone here has freedom of speech and religion. So far anyway. Just don't think you can rub it in our faces and take away our rights. Wars have been fought over stuff like this and keep it up and you might see another one!!! |

Labor Day - a nationwide holiday!
"The vital force of labor added materially to the highest standard of living and the greatest production the world has ever known and has brought us closer to the realization of our traditional ideals of economic and political democracy. It is appropriate, therefore, that the nation pay tribute on Labor Day to the creator of so much of the nation's strength, freedom, and leadership — the American worker."
...hmmm...that is, except at Tyson in Tennessee! No more Tyson's for me! |

RE: Your assault on American Values
First, I have a question. Isn't it true that you can't hire non-American workers for a job unless you cannot fill the job with American workers? With the economy in severe distress, I am sure that Americans would rush to fill your job openings. Apparently, though, the government agency that settles refugees convinced your company to hire Somalis who promptly showed their gratitude by asking you for--and receiving--a paid Muslim holiday of their very own. Some government official (who, by the way, should be heartily ashamed of himself for acting against the welfare of his own people) aided and abetted you as you wrested away the right of your workers to retain an American holiday whose purpose is to honor them. You tried to buy off your workers, telling them that you would provide holiday pay for the Muslim holiday instead of Labor Day, that would no longer be celebrated. Why did you do such an unpatriotic thing? Clearly you detest American labor (why? Is Somali labor cheaper?) It would seem that you detest the American labor movement--the movement that was designed to better the lives of American workers. You are clearly trying to destroy the union system by bringing in workers who couldn't care less about it. |
| Will | 3/15/11 |
since you think the muslims, the most violent religion on the earth is more important than an american holiday, our family and friends think that buying your competitions products is more important than buying your products anymore.
Tyson should be ashamed of themselves. |
| Don Williams | 3/11/11 |
| Tyson needs to move their headquarters out of the United States, and take their corporate staff with them. They recruit non-English speaking workers in their Houston plant. and I assume they will give them Cinco de Mayo for a holiday. They can take their un-American butts elswhere . I will join the boycott and tell as many loving Americans to do their best to let their products rot on the shelves. These days , there are too many other choices to support any company whose workforce vows to kill Christians ands American citizens . |
| Bob Munger | 3/9/11 |
Dear folks at Tyson,
When ms. Hillary worked for the law firm that represented you and lobbied then Gov. Clinton to 'waive' certain rules so you could dump billions of pounds of chicken parts and waste into the White river, thus effectively killing same, that was 1 thing. Now comes you again, giving our 'enemies' a holiday. If obama can say 'we must punish our enemies' referring to Republicans, then I can call muslims our enemies. I am starting a personal campaign to get all to boycott your products. Our enemies may attempt to contaminate the stuff anyway. |
| Gary Tilson | 3/9/11 |
| My family and all my contacts are banning together and will never use any Tyson product until Tyson Foods makes a public announcement that you are reversing your decision of preferring Muslin over American holidays. Why don't you move your country to the Middle East. |
| Alice Schroeder | 3/5/11 |
| I no longer will buy your products. The quality is not what it used to be but I continuted to buy Tyson for the convenience. Shame on me! Now that you're "bowing" to the Muslims as Obama did, we will not buy Tyson. Will check to see what other products you may be putting on the market and will boycott those also. |
| Ginny | 3/6/11 |
| Regular Tyson customer until now. I will never buy another Tyson product as long as I live. Take your company out of our country you traitor! |
| Chuck McVay | 3/1/11 |
| I would like to advise Management of Tyson foods because of your decision to support muslims and somalis over American' who by the way were responsible for your very existance, that I nor any one else I can convence will never purchase any of your products. I would suggest you go to one of the Muslim or to somalil to live, we do not need nor want your kind. In my opinion you would sell your own Mother's soul to the devil if it would benefit you. However I would be very supprised if the Devil him-self would open the gattes of Hell to let you in. |

| I am joining all the other people here about your policy- why don't you move your company to the Middle East? I am a tea party member, and will send this out to everyone I know. I am also on Freedom Connects. We will boycott every Tyson product. How dare you???? Labor Day is a national holiday here in America, and you DO NOT have the right to change that. If your workers are here in this country, then they can bloody well celebrate our holidays, or GO HOME. |

I WOULD LIKE TO ADVISE THE MANAGEMENT OF YOUR CORPORATION THAT AFTER LEARNING OF YOUR COMPANYS PREFERANCE OF MUSLIM AND SOMALIS OVER THE PEOPLE OF OUR COUNTRY......"AMERICA, UNLESS YOU FORGOT" I WILL NO LONGER BE PURCHASING ANYTHING WITH THE TYSON NAME ON IT.
I WILL ALSO FORWARD THIS TO ALL OF MY EMAIL CONTACTS ADVISING THEM OF THE SAME. I'M SORRY TO SAY BUT I FEEL THE TYSON COMPANY IS NO LONGER AN AMERICAN ENTITY. IT'S APPARENT YOU ARE UNAWARE OF WHAT HAS BEEN GOING IN THE WORLD LET ALONE OUR COUNTRY.
...... YOU HAVE DEFINATELY RUINED THE RESPECT OF YOUR COMPANY BY MANY "REAL AMERICANS"........... |

Just took a large pack of breasts, purchased last night, back to my store................And there is absolutely no excuse that will change future purchases which will be none.............Even if Corporate came back and said 100% of employees at the plant approves this, Ambassador Le Pup still will not touch anything Tyson...
Rescind this and ChiefPupPawPaw along with Ambassador Le Pup, PupDatSniffs and snifferpup will not only buy in the future, but will also purchase nothing but Tyson...
Also understand, this is not about the employees or anyone else involved in this decision................It's about the Idea of what The United States Of America is all about..........................~

| Take your Muslim people to the BANK. None of my money will go with you. SHAME ON YOU ! |

| I am so sorry to hear that you do not want to celebrate American Holidays in America.I will no longer purchase Tyson Foods for my family. I prefer to spend my hard earned money on American companies that LOVE AMERICA as our family does. I hope that you are learning a lesson about your customers here in America. Poll the population or maybe just listen to the news. We are not tickled nor do we think it is cute to condone any Musslim holiday in America. |

| Just read about your plan to drop Labor Day as paid holiday for your workers, in favor of the celebration of Ramadan. Shame on you. This is not a Muslim country. I have the choice of the brand of products I purchase, and it will NOT be Tyson from this day forward. I am telling my family and friends to do the same and all of my FaceBook friends!! Shame on you. Do you value the Muslim employees (they live in a Christian country) more than the Non-Muslim employees????? The paid holidays were set long before the employees that you are trying to please, even started working there. Thanks for putting your name in large letters on each package. That way I know which ones to avoid.:( |

| Just because our president bowed to the Muslims it doesn't make it right for Tyson Foods or any other company to do the same. I agree with Pat and Ann and I further would say that if you (Tyson Foods) want to honor their holidays and not ours then move your company over to where ever your Muslim employees came from and set up shop there. This is suppose to be America and those who wish to come here and live are suppose to adhere to our laws and our culture. You would be beheaded, slowly, if you went to their country and tried to infuse our way of life on them. Time to pony up and be a REAL AMERICAN. |

| I THINK IT'S GREAT THAT YOU TRDE A NATIONAL HOLIDAY FOR ALL AMERICANS FOR JUST A FEW MUSLIMS. YOU KNOW WHJAT ELSE IS GREAT...I DON'T HAVE TO BUY YOUR DAMN FOOD. |
| Pat | 2/15/11 |
Having discovered your policy of hiring mostly Muslims, and dropping an American holiday in favor of the Muslim Eid al Fitr, I have purchased my LAST Tyson product, and will encourage everyone I know to do the same.
It's insane how Americans are choosing to accommodate Muslims instead of their blending into our culture. Why didn't they stay in their own countries if they don't like American customs?
SHAME on you, Tyson. |

Tyson Food in Shelbyville , Tennessee has eliminated Labor Day as a paid holiday in favor of the last day of Ramadan because they have 700 Muslim employees. The fact that they have almost that many non-muslim employees is beside the point apparently!
Why should we support Tyson Foods? |

| all I can say is that the chicken patties are nothing what they used to be years ago.. ALL breading now, and very little chicken. I won't be buying them anymore. |
| P White | 2/2/11 |
| I have not purchased any Tyson product since finding out about the muslim holiday nor will I ever purchase a Tyson product again. Your products are really not very good anyway so this is not too much of a sacrifice. |
| Jill Clark | 2/9/11 |
| Due to learning that your firm honors the Muslin holiday of Eid al Fite I will no longer purchase any Tyson products and urge others to do the same. |
| Martin Schwartz | 1/25/11 |
Is it True? Please respond Tyson.

Labor Negotiations
The change at the Shelbyville, Tennessee plant was agreed to by 80% of the workers at the plant. Many of the workers at the plant are Muslim Somalis, many of whom came to the United States as refugees. Workers at the plant now get eight paid holidays per year: Thanksgiving, Christmas, their birthday, New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day and Eid al-Fitr.FOX News: Tyson Plant Drops Labor Day for Muslim Holiday

| My rating of Tyson chicken was excellent until this week. When I could not find your frozen boneless chicken breast tenders, I purchased 3 packages of your frozen chicken breast strips. I was extremely disappointed. All 3 packages were nothing but small bits of frozen chicken covered with fat, bloody membranes and all kinds of nasty looking ends of breast meat. I was only able to salvage less than one package for chicken salad. You've got to do better than that in the future. |

TYSON HAS APPROVED THE INSTALLATION OF A 24 HOUSE GROW-OUT POULTRY FACILITY WHICH WILL BE LOCATED IN THE MIDDLE OF A RESIDENTIAL AND FARMING AREA IN EAST TEXAS, SPECIFICALLY, TIMPSON, TEXAS. THESE 24 HOUSES HAVE THE ABILITY TO HAVE 30,000 CHICKENS PER HOUSE WHICH WILL BE APPROX 750,000 CHICKENS AT ANY ONE TIME!! THIS IS APPALING AND THE CITIZENS OF THIS COMMUNITY ARE OUTRAGED THAT THEY HAVE SUPPORTED TYSON FOR MANY, MANY YEARS AND NOW TYSON IS SAYING WE DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU, ONLY ABOUT THE $$. THESE RESIDENCES AND SMALL FARMS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME; THE AIR QUALITY WILL BE UNIMAGINABLY POOR, WITH THE SMELL AND CHICK DANDER ALWAYS IN SMELLING UP THE AREA;THE RUN-OFF WILL BE, ACCORDING TO TYSON REPRESENTATIVES, A BIG ISSUE FOR THE WATER AND GROUND SOURCES; THE DEEP WELLS AND OVERALL EARTH SURROUNDING THIS AREA WILL BE COMPROMISED UNREASONABLY. THE PROPERTY VALUES WILL DETERIORATE IMMEDIATELY AND THE HOMES AND LAND THAT THESE FAMILIES HAVE SACRIFICED FOR WILL NO LONGER HAVE ANY VALUE. TYSON ISN'T SPEAKING ABOUT THIS AND IS TURNING THEIR BACK ON ANY COMMUNICATION AT THIS TIME. THE EXECUTIVES WHO MADE THE DECISION TO ALLOW THIS 24 HOUSE FACILITY TO BE CONTRUCTED HAVE PLAINLY STATED THEY WOULD NOT WANT THE FACILITY NEXT DOOR TO THEM. SO WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IN HAVING IT NEXT DOOR TO US? ARE THEY BETTER OR DESERVE BETTER QUALITY LIFE THAN US? PERHAPS THEY DON'T GRASP THE TRUTH OF 'DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU'?
WE, THE CITIZENS OF OUR COMMUNITY, ARE ASKING YOU THE CONSUMER TO SPEAK OUT IN OUR BEHALF OR TO AT LEAST LET TYSON KNOW THAT YOU WILL NOT PURCHASE THEIR PRODUCT UNTIL THEY STOP BULLYING THE VERY INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE HELPED MAKE THEM WEALTHY. THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO THIS STORY THAT IS WRITTEN HERE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT. I CAN BE CONTACTED BY EMAIL AT C.M.P@SBCGLOBAL.NET. |

| I purchased Tyson Crispy Chicken Strips with rib meat in the 40 oz package. I thought I would prepare enough for supper and lunch tomorrow. The breading was so thick on the chicken and hard as a rock in places, no kidding. I ended up with almost as much breading as I had chicken. I will not be buying this product again although I have been satisfied with Tyson chicken in the past, just not this one. |
