Hormer Supplier Shocking Farm Cruelty To Pigs
Undercover investigation by PETA at an Iowa pig factory farm reveals shocking rampant animal cruelty committed by the workers and supervisors. The video and images are horrific to the extent that some of the images shown here have been left out.
Some of the atrocities of cruelty shown were
- Piglets slammed to the floor and leaving them still wriggling to die in a bloodied pile
- beating up of the pigs to death with metal rods
- inserting rods into the sow’s vagina
- Spraying paint into the pig’s eyes and nostrils
These condemed acts and unacceptable practice shows how ugly human actions can be and the atrocities that are not known to us when we eat products such as bacon, ham or sausage.
Watch the video and gallery at your discretion and definitely not for the squeamish hearted. The images shown here are less disturbing and to see the full story and media, check out PETA’s website. If you care about animal cruelty, do check out Kentucky Fried Cruelty as well.

This is sad and disgusting. I have been vegan for over five years, but I always try to stay away from reading about animal cruelty because it upsets and depresses me, but I am glad I read about this one. Although I don’t agree with some of PETA’s methods, I do appreciate that they reveal some of the most horrendous acts performed behind close doors so that they can attempt to open some eyes. Thank you for posting this!
