Pig

This location in Den Dungen keeps pigs.

The owner of this farm is Nicky Sanders. He participated in the ComfortClass project, which aims to improve animal welfare. He has a display barn where only the group housing is visible. These images are of the barn directly adjacent to the display barn and are not open to the public. The images clearly show how the pigs interact with each other and how curious they are. One photo shows a dead pig lying between the two barns.

  • Investigation

    The Ongehoord research team visited no fewer than 26 pig farms. The result was a huge collection of injured, sick, and dead animals. At one organic farm, stereotypical behavior and leg defects were filmed.
