A thread to record and discuss investigations, exposes and reports documenting animal abuse on farms, research labs, zoos, hunts, racing etc in the UK.
Recent animal equality investigation into 'cross farms', a red tractor approved farm that supplies pig flesh to Tescos.
The investigation found:
- Piglets ‘thumped’ and killed against concrete walls;
- Piglets having their tails cut off and their teeth ‘clipped’, without anaesthetic;
- A piglet thrown by workers across the shed;
- Dead piglets throughout the farm. Paperwork reported that piglets had died from starvation, sickness, or after being crushed;
- A bin full of dead piglets and rotting corpses on the barn floor;
- Mother pigs in cages showing repetitive behaviours, a sign of psychological distress, such as bar-biting. One pig, who had attempted to turn inside the cage, became caught beneath the metal bars, suffering deep, bloody wounds as a result;
- Mother pigs suffering from red, raw leg sores and vulval prolapses;
- And filthy conditions in the barns, with cobwebs and dust present throughout.
