Guided piggery tour in Victoria, Australia
A guided video tour of a Victorian piggery. using footage that led to charges being laid against two of the organisation's staff, including Executive Director Chris Delforce.
In the video, Farm Transparency Project's Executive Director, Chris Delforce, is followed by a camera as he walks through the sheds of Gowanbrae Piggery in Central Victoria, which is owned by Australia's largest pork producer, Sunpork. He shares information about standard practices used on Australian pig farms, including the cutting of tails without anaesthetic and the killing of underweight or weak piglets by bashing their heads on a concrete floor or hard surface. He also shows the camera dead piglets, left in the aisles with clear signs of predation, sows with pressure wounds and filthy conditions, including floors covered with maggots.
Parts of the tour were originally released embedded within a virtual reality tour of the piggery. Following the release of this tour, Delforce and another investigator were charged with trespass and biosecurity laws which have since been heard in court and resulted in fines.
