Beter Leven
Pig

strokoker.nl in Zelhem keeps pigs. This location holds the Beter Leven 1 star certification.

The Beulinks invented the straw tube, a PVC pipe filled with straw. For this, they received a Beter Leven star from the Dutch Society for the Protection of Animals (Dierenbescherming). In the footage, not a single pig shows any interest in the tube, and there is no straw visible in the pens.

  • 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.
