hawera - another typical nz pig farm
Piglets' tails displayed like rotting trophies
In June this year Farmwatch investigated a pig farm in Hawera. What we found was typical of a sick and cruel industry.
Large sheds of sows (female pigs) were found confined in farrowing crates, pigs were living in pens covered in their own faeces and urine, and a piglet was found in clear need of veterinary care. An old rusty shopping trolley was also found caked with blood and containing filthy veterinary implements. In a disturbing twist, piglets tails were found displayed on the front of the trolley like rotting trophies.
Pigs deserve a better life than this. No political party has made these animals a priority this election, so it’s up to you to speak up on their behalf. They are constantly being failed by a system that favours profit above all else and they simply can’t wait any longer.
Please email your local MP to let them know you will not allow this to continue. You can contact your MP by visiting www.animalagenda.org.nz
The best way to help us put an end to this cruelty is to choose compassion over cruelty and stop eating animals! Visit goveg.kiwi.nz.
