LAURENCE DOLLIMORE: A pig farmer has been arrested after performing a flying kick into the back of an animal rights activist in Yorkshire. Video shared online shows the farmer take a run-up before jumping into the air to kick the protestor as he walks away with his back turned. Some 50 members of the Meat the Victims group had stormed Willow Farm Products Ltd at Hall Green, Wakefield… It followed a six-month campaign to expose what they claimed to be ‘disgusting and inhumane’ conditions.
After kicking one of the protestors, the 51-second clip shows the farmer screaming: ‘Get out! Get out!’, while pointing to the exit. He adds: ‘Get out now, every single one of you, I don’t give a f**k.’ The Yorkshireman points to the door and continues to tell the group to leave before appearing to punch the male protestor he had just kicked to the ground moments earlier. The campaigners can be heard gasping in shock before screaming: ‘Stop it…What are you doing?!’…
The disturbing scenes were caught on camera in the early hours,… where the furious farmer allegedly also screamed: ‘I’m going to get a gun and shoot you all’. As the group attempted to flee from the chaotic scenes, the farmer appears to point a metal bar at them while shouting ‘wrong f**king farm’. It comes after a six-month investigation uncovered shocking footage revealing filthy and dry water troughs and dying piglets writhing in pain or having violent seizures. The farm at Hall Green houses thousands of pigs and has been subject to hundreds of complaints from local residents regarding air pollution and foul odours.
They claim that they found animals with signs of disease and infection, and hundreds of pigs which were crowded into dark sheds and covered in their own excrement and urine… injured piglets at the farm were left to rot in their own excrement, and were subjected to brutal treatment and painful deaths… In another shocking clip, a board is revealed which shows how many piglets were ‘knocked’ – a term which refers to when a piglet’s head is smashed into the floor or wall until its death…
In just seven weeks, the farm allegedly killed 51 piglets in this way, while another 31 died from the squalid living conditions alone, according to the board. Mr Gordon added: ‘Far from being a one-off exception to the rule, Hall Green Farm is representative of the true conditions and animal abuse that occurs in this industry. ‘This is the reality of where your bacon comes from.’ A man who was arrested at the farm following reports of an assault has been released under investigation, the force confirmed.
