Public submissions have now closed for the Victorian Parliamentary Inquiry into pig welfare - thank you to everyone who made a submission calling for a kinder world for pigs!
The inquiry was initiated earlier this year after our groundbreaking exposé, aired on ABC’s 7.30, showed pigs screaming, thrashing and gasping for air inside carbon dioxide gas chambers, which are used to suffocate over 90% of Australian pigs before their throats are slit. Chaired by Animal Justice Party MP Georgie Purcell, the inquiry will investigate commercial pig confinement, including the continued use of sow stalls and farrowing crates, and slaughter in Victoria, and prepare a report suggesting improvements to the government.

The most important action you can take for pigs is to leave them off your plate, as our investigations have shown that there is no way to "humanely" kill them or any other animals for food. Check out VegKit or VeganEasy if you need tips or recipes!
