Shocking animal cruelty on pig farm



South African society is degenerating as we witness more and more cases of savagery perpetrated against animals in western culture. From the savage treatment of livestock on farms to the daily beatings strays receive in townships. There are the gruesome acts of torturing animals. Animals that are buried alive, burnt alive or hacked to death.

When the SPCA removes the abused animals, the perpetrators find other animals to abuse and so the continued inhuman behavior continues. There are horrific stories of the ongoing animal abuse around the country. Videos of animals being killed or abused often expose the appalling murder of these animals.

A video has emerged showing farm workers deliberately killing pigs, and the manner in which they do this is horrific.  It was not disclosed in which province the video circulated. However, it is unwarranted and merciless. In the video the pigs are crammed into small spaces, suffering from broken bones, dehydration, and other illnesses. One can only imagine the stress and anxiety the tortured animals have to endure during rearing, transport and slaughtering. 

It is also cruel to film such dreadful cruelty. However, sometimes the cold hard facts need to be exposed and seeing is believing. It is when exposure of the merciless brutality to animals is brought into awareness that the perpetrators can be stopped.
