Videos from the scene show the activists wearing white suits and masks inside one of the huts, while another 100 people are outside with signs and posters.

Activist Chris Hines told MailOnline that the group wants to make the pig farming industry ‘more transparent’ and let the public know the truth behind their meat. He said: “The mothers are in farrowing crates. The space inside a crate is enough for them to take a few steps and they can stand up and sit down, they can’t turn around.

The idea behind them being in this is so they don’t crush the piglets. ‘They only have a few inches to move around – if these were dogs there would be outrage”… Joey Carbstrong said: ‘The message is that these places operate in secrecy, the public are funding something and they have no idea what goes on in there. “We are trying to bring what happens in here into the light. We want to advocate for a plant based lifestyle, a vegan lifestyle so that these places don’t exist and animals are free”.’ SOURCE…
