IF IT WASN'T, THEY WOULD PROSECUTE THE OWNERS
THESE sickening scenes show pigs fighting for space in a rat-infested barn – yards from piles of maggot-infested carcasses.The distressed animals were secretly filmed at a Norfolk farm signed up to the Freedom Food scheme – backed by the RSPCA – which is meant to guarantee high animal welfare standards.
Footage shot over six weeks reveals pigs mired in a swamp of mud, faeces and urine in a dark barn.
Rats scurry up walls and pick through overflowing bins of rotting carcasses, spilling maggots into pens where healthy and sick pigs are crammed together.
Here we show a selection of the squalid conditions but many of our pictures are too harrowing for a family newspaper.
It’s claimed the pigs spend 24 hours a day in this horrific state until they are sent for slaughter.

I didn't believe anything on this site when I first logged on out of curiosity. I was told about it my a friend who works for the RSPCA. They want it shut - but I have to say that the links are impeccable. I'm disgusted by Freedom Food - the RSPCA spends £1m a year promoting a shit system which is no better than any of the others.
