Pig Farm Video
A non-sensationalist undercover investigation of an Australian Intensive Pig Farm.
SAFE has received disturbing new footage taken last month inside an intensive piggery in the Auckland area. The footage shows frustrated and depressed sows as well as sick, dying and crippled piglets. Many of the breeding sows had sores or suffering from badly infected teats.
The footage was taken by members of Open Rescue who openly identify themselves and take full responsibility for their actions, despite any possible legal repercussions which may arise. Open Rescue volunteers are active in Australia, Europe, United States and New Zealand.
Open Rescue investigator Deirdre Sims says her team are ordinary people acting with compassion in the face of suffering. “We hope showing this evidence of atrocities taken on a New Zealand farm will help end this abuse. If people boycotted pig meat it would help pave a way to the freedom of these poor suffering animals”, she says.

Sadly these images are some of the less disturbing of those I have seen in the past. These conditions are very common, and Im pleased that a site is finally showing this to the world in a modern, editorial manor.
With the advent of sites such as this, and the movement of AR into the mainstream political arena (eg speak political - new AR political party in the UK) we are finally able to speak to a wider audience in an intelligent and “grown up” manor, and have more chance of being taken seriously. You have to play the game before you can win it.
