East Harling farm worker jailed for pig cruelty
Quote:
Pigs were secretly filmed being abused on Harling Farm in Norfolk
Two farm workers have been sentenced for cruelty to pigs in Norfolk.
Geoffrey Towell, 54, and James Dove, 27, were working at Harling Farm, East Harling, when they were secretly filmed being cruel to sows and piglets.
Towell, of East Harling, was jailed for 18 weeks. Dove, of Wymondham, received an eight-week jail term, suspended for a year, at Norwich Magistrates' Court.
District Judge Peter Veits said it was among the worst cases of deliberate cruelty he had seen.
It was exposed by a member of the animal rights group Animal Equality, which prompted the RSPCA to visit the farm on 10 February.

Oh my  If you think that video of pig cruelty is bad, trust me, there's much, much worse on YouTube.
