PigsIn June 2025, investigators acting on information from a member of the public, captured footage inside Andgar Piggery in Dublin, South Australia.
The footage shows pigs living alongside the decomposing bodies of dozens of dead pigs, with some becoming stuck in a giant pile of corpses.
Other footage from the same piggery shows pigs in 'eco sheds' on the property, which are sheds with two or three walls, with at least one side open to the elements. The pigs in these sheds are seen wading through mud and waste, which is often so deep that they are forced to swim. Some pigs had drowned in these sheds, likely after becoming stuck.
Pigs were filmed with massive, necrotic wounds where infection had eaten through skin down to the bone. One pig had a hole in their back that was roughly 10cm in diameter and packed with straw, mud and faeces. Piglets were also found living amongst the dead and rotting bodies of their littermates.
These visits took place 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.
Andgar Piggery came in 1st place in the Award for Outstanding Cruelty to Pigs 2025.

Formerly a farrow-to-finish piggery. Investigators in 2014 found farrowing crates and sow stalls showcasing common issues within the Australian pig farming industry: extreme prolonged confinement, injuries and deaths, decaying infrastructure, and surgical mutilation without anaesthetic (cutting pieces out of piglets' ears as a method of identification).
One piglet was found severed in half next to another who had been partially eaten, presumably by other pigs, cats or rats. Cannibalism amongst pigs is also common in pig farms due to the boredom and frustration faced during confinement.

Awards for Outstanding Cruelty to Pigs (2025)
Thursday 16 Oct 2025 by
At Australian Pork Limited's Annual General Meeting in October, 2025, Farm Transparency Project presented inaugural awards for Outstanding Cruelty to Pigs. While we know that every pig farmer/slaughterer in Australia works tirelessly in this space, our judges had to narrow the field to just four - not an easy task! Congratulations to the well-deserved winners. In fourth place: Midland Bacon in Carag Carag, Victoria! For obvious reasons (#FreeOlivia), but also for defiantly maintaining their enormous sow stall shed while APL's pretending they don't exist anymore, and for the routine killing of piglets by slamming their heads onto the concrete...
