Shocking new footage has emerged of pigs at the same Levin farm exposed by TVNZ’s Sunday programme more than a year ago.
The footage, filmed by Open Rescue who accompanied Mike King on the Levin farm last year, reveals stressed and injured sows tightly packed in crates or confined in small concrete pens. The grisly footage shows pigs suffering from a variety of injuries that include bleeding sores caused by constant contact with the bars, flesh wounds that appear to be gangrenous, bloody feet and a sow with a badly infected and swollen ear.
