We filmed workers on Fir Tree Farm in Lincolnshire kicking pigs in the face, jabbing them with pitchforks and slamming gates on their heads. We are extremely disappointed that these three men have not been sent to prison for their disgusting attacks on the pigs in their care. Today in Grimsby Magistrates Court, three men received wholly inadequate sentences for these deliberate acts of cruelty.
Troy Wagstaff – a supervisor and the animal welfare manager at the farm, who was filmed violently kicking pigs at least 20 times in just a few days – Gavin Hardy and Artis Grogprkevs each received an 8 week suspended prison sentence and a community order of 100 hours of unpaid work. They were also ordered to pay court charges.
Without our brave investigators, these men would still be beating pigs today. You can help us catch more animal abusers and put them behind bars. Animals need you! Support them here: [ Ссылка ]
