The investigation by Ongehoord revealed shocking footage of severe animal suffering in so-called "humane" meat concepts. The video shows seriously ill and injured pigs in the "rooting shed" of Jan Broenink, who won the Delta Plan Livestock Farming Award from the Dutch Society for the Protection of Animals (Dierenbescherming). The footage also highlights abuses at the farm of Edwin Tijink, the breeder supplying the mother pigs for the rooting pig chain.
