Arfin, In the UK, new undercover footage shows factory farm workers brutally abusing animals — going so far as to kick and punch baby animals and beating them with metal bars, paddles, and boards.
In the videos, not only do workers at Somerby Top Farm attack little piglets, but they also shove wounded animals into crowded, unsanitary, feces-filled pens, leaving them vulnerable to severe infections. Some animals were visibly crying out or thrashing in pain, while others were too lame to stand or walk.
The farm's approach to handling lame piglets was apparently to shoot them. But sometimes, those executions were "botched," leaving the babies alive, screaming, and suffering for upwards of 30 seconds afterwards before finally dying.
Even worse, sometimes workers left the animals to cannibalize each other instead. In one case, a piglet that was obviously in extreme distress from an open wound was left to slowly die in its crowded pen. Over a period of 33 hours, it was cannibalized and killed — eaten alive — by its fellow animals. Video seems to suggest that workers heard the pig's cries and ignored them.
Luckily, multiple UK grocery store chains — including Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, and Morrisons — have acted quickly and suspended their orders from this farm. Now all other UK grocery stores must also hold Somerby Top Farm accountable for these abusive practices by boycotting its products! Sign the petition! |
