I don't know whether anyone has seen, but there has been another farm, this time in Norfolk, where they have documented appalling abuse to pigs, basically hitting, beating, all sorts of vile animal cruelty. This is particularly shocking as this farm is signed up to the Red Tractor Standards.
On BBC4 Farming World today they had the farmer on, who thought this was a good defence.....
The pig in question had been clubbed to death with Iron Bars - which too a long time and was pretty barbaric. The farmer said the story was that the pig had broken its leg, so they were trying to put it out of its misery???? He said that he didn't let them use his shot gun so they had no alternative way to kill the animal.
Anyone else feel this asks more questions than it answers?
