End the Torture Behind UK Factory Farm Doors

Millions of pigs are suffering right now. Together, we can stop it.

Across the UK, behind the walls of large, windowless sheds, around five million pigs are enduring relentless cruelty. Confined to cramped metal crates, unable to comfort their newborns, and subjected to painful mutilations without pain relief - this is life for pigs in factory farms. It’s legal, it’s hidden, and it’s happening now.

Mother pigs are forced to give birth in farrowing crates so small they can’t turn around. Every mother pig on a factory farm will have to watch her newborn piglets lying on cold concrete floor, unable to comfort them. Within days, she’ll watch as her piglets’ tails are cut, their teeth clipped and their ears notched. These painful procedures are carried out to control behaviours caused by the stress of extreme confinement…

Most people have no idea this cruelty is happening in the UK. Pigs are as intelligent as dogs, yet they are treated in ways that would cause public outrage if inflicted on other animals.

There is a better way. At Brodoclea Woodland Farm, pigs live in an environment that supports their natural behaviours. They roam through leafy paddocks, forage for food and build nests from grass and bracken to raise their young. There are no farrowing crates, no mutilations and no routine use of antibiotics.

Brodoclea proves that farming without cruelty is possible. With your support, we can campaign to end the use of farrowing crates, stop the mutilation of piglets and prevent the expansion of factory farms.

Millions of pigs are suffering right now. Together we can help bring this hidden cruelty to an end.
