You'll hear audio excerpts from Viva!’s shocking video footage which reveal not only the widespread neglect and abuse of pigs but also the failings of a government and industry to effectively protect the welfare of factory farmed animals in Britain today. Housing 15,000 pigs, it's one of the largest pig farms Viva! has ever seen. Conditions there for pigs are so appalling that Viva! has launched a campaign urging supporters to TAKE ACTION and help them close the farm down.
