Cruel and illegal practices in the pig industry exposed
Animal Equality through its latest investigation exposes the mistreatment of pigs in the meat industry. Pigs are beaten, stuffed in bags during transport and bludgeoned with a hammer and stabbed in the heart several times during slaughter.
The investigation was conducted into pig farms, markets, and slaughter of pigs in Maharashtra, Kerala, Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand. We investigated 6 farms and 3 slaughter facilities in these states and found blatant illegalities in each case.
Sign the petition urging the Government of India to introduce the recommendations presented by Animal Equality to protect pigs: https://animalequality.in/campaign/cruel-pork-production/
We have the power to end this mass torture by eliminating meat from our diet and replacing it with delicious plant-based meat.
