In June, investigators, acting on information from a member of the public, captured footage inside Andgar piggery in Dublin, South Australia. 

  • Pigs housed in ‘eco sheds’ with mud so deep that some pigs were observed to have drowned inside the shed.
  • Evidence of cannibalisation and predation from rats.

  • Pigs with horrific injuries and wounds, including one pig with a tennis ball size prolapse and one pig with a large hole in their back which appeared to go down to the bone. The hole was packed with straw and faeces.

  • A shed of weaned piglets where many of them were dead and decomposing amongst the living pigs.

And none of that was even the worst that we saw. Because upon entering one shed, investigators came across a scene straight out of their nightmares…

They found a pile of hundreds of corpses, some with horrific wounds and all left to rot and decompose. Trapped within this horrible pile were live pigs who had become stuck between the bodies and the metal bars and were unable to escape. 

Investigators spent hours moving the bodies of pigs and trying to free as many live pigs as they could. For some, even when free they were unable to walk, their bodies crushed by the weight of bodies that had pressed into them. 

After receiving this footage, investigators from FTP returned a week later. They found the pile of corpses gone, but dozens of rotting bodies still remained scattered around the shed. Living pigs were observed eating these bodies, some of which were barely recognisable due to decomposition. 

Our visit was over a month after this farm had been reported to the RSPCA by a member of the public, who was so horrified by the conditions that they knew they had to act. 

Take action now to demand that the RSPCA and Department of Environment and Water take urgent action to shut down and prosecute this piggery. 

 

Thank you for taking action!

Cruelty and abuse are inherent to the animal slaughter industry, including meat, dairy, eggs, fur, wool and leather. Much of this cruelty is legal, due to exemptions in animal welfare legislation that specifically permit acts of cruelty towards farmed animals, that would be illegal if performed on dogs or cats.

The only way to truly stop cruelty to farmed animals is to stop eating them. Take the pledge today to leave animals off your plate and live vegan - be part of a growing movement towards a kinder, more sustainable world, and take a stand against industries that harm and exploit animals.

I pledge to...
  • End my consumption of animal-based food and products, including meat, dairy, eggs, fur, wool and leather.
  • Share this pledge with others who want to build a kinder world for animals.
Thank you for signing the pledge!
We've sent you an email with some more information.
