“As soon as we saw the video, B.C. Pork arranged for a swine veterinarian to visit the farm to ensure national standards were continuing to be met,” Chad Goertzen said.
The B.C. SPCA is investigating secret video allegedly taken at a Fraser Valley pig farm that shows dead and sick animals.
She said the SPCA was asking PETA for more information around where the footage was taken, how, and at what time. Once it’s determined what parts of the video could be used as evidence, inspectors would seek to visit the location with a veterinarian expert in pigs. The video shows several dead and dying piglets, pigs with large ulcers and sick pigs. Perhaps the most disturbing images are of pigs licking the body of a rotting pic in a large cage.
“As soon as we saw the video, B.C. Pork arranged for a swine veterinarian to visit the farm to ensure national standards were continuing to be met,” Goertzen said.
