Follow-up visit to Ampomaa pig farm and slaughter slab

March 31, 2024

Today a team from WACPAW/EonA conducted a follow-up visit at Ampomaa pig farm and slaughter-slab. This was the place where we were last year to teach them how to use captive bolt stunners and to give them a captive bolt stunner. We do this so that we can bring an end to the pigs being clubbed to death. The guys at the farm are now stunning each pig first, to render them unconscious before bleeding them out. Please watch the video here to see the difference.

These images of clubbing and slaughtering are always tough to witness, but 100% tougher for the pigs that must endure this suffering and sheer terror. For this reason we are relieved that conditions are much less cruel now, and want to thank the farmer for facilitating our training last year and sticking to this better practice.

Dear friends,

After years of our fieldwork and our enforcement requests, the NVWA (the Dutch government inspection authority) is finally taking action.

The NVWA has made it clear to the entire calf export-import industry between Ireland and the Netherlands: transporting unweaned calves for more than 30 hours without milk will no longer be tolerated.

Onderzoeksgroep Ongehoord filmde met verborgen camera's ernstige misstanden bij vier varkenshouderijen die leveren onder de vlag van het Beter Leven-keurmerk (één ster). De beelden kwamen laat in de middag online bij BOOS van Tim Hofman. #boos #beterleven
