Pigs kept in 'coffin-like confinement', activists say of undercover investigation

The activists took secret recordings of conditions on the pig farms, which they described as 'blatant cruelty'.

An undercover investigation carried out by animal rights activists has found a litany of cruelty in some of Ireland’s pig farms.

The investigation, which was conducted in January by Animal Rebellion Ireland and the National Animal Rights Association, saw footage secretly recorded of the bodies of dead pigs lying on top of each other, along with pregnant and breast-feeding pigs unable to turn around in farrowing crates.
