Animal Aid's undercover footage at 10 pig farms (2 mins)

Best Welfare Standards in the World? The British Pig Industry Exposed

The British pig farming industry makes repeated claims that it has some of the highest welfare standards in the world. Its promotional message -- which recently featured in a number of prominent national newspaper advertisements -- bolsters this claim by showing healthy-looking pigs on thick straw or out in the fields with plenty of space to roam.

In March and April 2008, as part of a major investigation, Animal Aid visited 10 English pig farms spanning five counties. Instead of idyllic images of straw-filled pens amidst leafy trees and bathed in sunlight, we found squalor, filth, death and disease.

Thank you for making this video, I am really disgusted that this goes on. Is there a list of all Animal Aid-approved pig farms or should I go vegan?

I appreciate all these people who finally opened their eyes to these horrific conditions that we previously did not know of. If only more people saw this.

This treatment of animals is disgusting .. born and bred simply to be eaten by some gluttunous human ffs !!! people wake up GO VEGAN !!

You can't accept these videos as the worst pig farms and that these are what all pig farms look like! These are probably some of the better ones! I am not saying i am for intensive farming because i am 100% not! I think some people need to realise that these ARE some of the best kept pigs and animals do have the bet welfare standards in the wolrd although they are still horrific. If everybody ate a lot less meat expecially americans there would be no need for intensive farms, think about that!
