A Sydney poultry worker has been caught on camera punching, kicking and stomping on birds destined for slaughter.
It's also alleged several live birds had their limbs cut off at the Tahmoor turkey processing plant in southwest Sydney, police say.
Police examined footage provided by an animal rights group and charged a 25-year-old man.
He was charged with three counts of torture, beating and causing prolonged suffering to an animal.
He was bailed to appear in Picton Local Court on Tuesday May 28.
Police say further arrests and charges have not been ruled out.
