A hidden-camera investigation has uncovered sickening
cruelty to pigs at a Hormel pork supplier.
Quality Pork Producers, which uses one of the fastest slaughter lines in the U.S.,
kills an astounding 1,300 pigs every hour. It operates under a USDA pilot program known as
“HIMP that allows for high-speed slaughter and reduced government oversight.
Today’s investigative release by Compassion Over Killing
shows how the excessive
slaughter line speed forces workers to take shortcuts that lead to extreme
suffering for millions of pigs.
The
disturbing undercover video shows animals covered in feces and suffering
from pus-filled abscesses, pigs who are unable to walk being beaten and dragged
across the floor, and numerous others being improperly stunned before they are
dumped—potentially still conscious—into tanks of boiling water.

Mercy For Animals has exposed rampant abuse throughout the
pork industry, including pregnant pigs confined for months at a time in
barren metal cages so small they are unable to turn around, piglets having
their testicles ripped out by hand without any painkillers, and piglets
routinely slammed headfirst into concrete floors.
