‘Free range’ is a marketing term. The reality looks nothing like the adverts. Free range or caged, egg production begins and ends with exploitation and violence. Even if hens were never harmed, their eggs are not ours to take, because animals are not ours to use. #GoVegan #AnimalRights #ChooseCompassion

Will justice be served for pigs today? In 2023- 2024, our investigators went undercover inside Innovis Ltd’s GTC East boar stud in Norfolk. What they filmed led to a prosecution by Norfolk County Council Trading Standards against Steven Woolger, who plead guilty to all charges under the Animal Welfare Act 2006. Today, we await the court’s decision. Whatever the outcome, this case shows why undercover investigations matter: what happens behind closed doors doesn’t always stay hidden. 🐖 For the animals, always.

⚖️ SENTENCED. Former Norfolk pig farm worker Steve Woolger pleaded guilty to eight animal welfare offences after our undercover investigation caught him striking pigs with a pitchfork, kicking them and hitting them with a pipe. He has now been given: 🔸 17 weeks in prison, suspended for 18 months 🔸 A £1,654 fine 🔸 A 10-year ban on keeping or working with 'farm animals' Although he was handed a prison sentence, which would be considered a 'win' by many standards, it is suspended. Which means unless he offends again in the next 18 months, he’s unlikely to spend a single day behind bars. This is an important step towards accountability, but it can’t undo the harm he caused. The pigs he hurt lived through fear and pain that no sentence can make right. Without our footage, none of this would have come to light. What happens behind closed doors doesn’t always stay hidden. 🐖 #AnimalJusticeProject #ProjectPig

⚠️ Content warning: animal cruelty. This is the footage that brought Steve Woolger to justice. Our investigators filmed the former Norfolk pig farm worker striking pigs with a pitchfork, kicking them and hitting them with a plastic pipe. He pleaded guilty to eight animal welfare offences. His sentence: 🔸 17 weeks in prison, suspended for 18 months 🔸 A £1,654 fine 🔸 A 10-year ban on keeping or working with farm animals The prison sentence is suspended. Unless he offends again in the next 18 months, he’s unlikely to spend a single day behind bars. This is a step towards accountability, but it can’t undo what these pigs went through. Watch, share, and help make sure what happens behind closed doors never stays hidden. 🐖 #AnimalJusticeProject #ProjectPig

Without undercover investigations, this would never have come to light. Behind closed doors, animals are treated as products, not as the individuals they are. No one is watching, and no one is held to account. The evidence we collected inside a Norfolk pig farm changed that. Former worker Steve Woolger has pleaded guilty to eight offences after our investigation showed him striking and kicking pigs. He was given: 🔸 17 weeks in prison, suspended for 18 months 🔸 £1,654 fine 🔸 10-year ban on working with farm animals Because the sentence is suspended, he’s unlikely to spend a day behind bars unless he offends again. One conviction won’t change an industry built on treating animals as commodities. That’s why we’ll keep exposing what it tries to hide. 🐖 And we will never give up.
