Canadians for Ethical Treatment of Food Animals (CETFA) has released an investigation into the treatment of pigs at an Ontario pig barn.
CETFA investigators state that they documented:
- Severely injured pigs, unable to stand up or walk, left to languish and slowly die without veterinary care;
- Pigs suffering from serious untreated illnesses and injuries,
including eye infections, severely swollen joints, and large, open
pus-filled abscesses; - Dead pigs left in pens with live pigs who were scavenged upon;
- Pens so overcrowded pigs had to climb over one another to move; and
- One pig removed by investigators who had abscesses so advanced he had to be euthanized.
