Following a tip-off from a member of the public, Hillside's Farm Animal Investigators recently visited a Norfolk Pig Farm. The undercover footage shows pigs being kept in an appalling state. There was no straw for the legally requiring dry lying area, leaving the pigs to exist on piles of their own excrement. Additionally, water drinkers were often blocked or empty, leaving the poor pigs seriously neglected.

The farm supplies pigs to Suffolk based company 'C&K Meats', who boast of their 'Passion for provenance and quality' and have been awarded many accreditations including Red Tractor, RSPCA Assured and BRC Grade A.

C&K Meats produced their own promotional video where they say how important animal welfare is to them. Perhaps they should visit some of the farms that supply them with pigs!


Uur footage highlights the difference between what we are told about farm animal welfare, and the grim reality for the animals
