Poultry tycoon Bernard Matthews faces more criticism after animal rights supporters released a video showing one of his workers repeatedly kicking turkeys.
The footage was secretly taken last week by an undercover investigator for an animal welfare charity who sneaked on to on one of the multi-millionaire's farms.

The same investigator last year filmed two other Bernard Matthews staff appearing to play baseball with live turkeys on another farm.
The confidence of consumers with Bernard Matthews products was also shaken in February by an outbreak of bird flu at his biggest farm in Holton near Halesworth., Suffolk.
Production at the farm and its adjoining factory was halted as more than 160,000 birds were culled after the discovery of the virulent H5N1 strain of the disease.
