PRESS RELEASE
"Compassion in World Farming has been filming undercover in Europe’s pig farms for 18 months. What we found was shocking – an apparent disregard for pig welfare law and political failure to enforce it. Failure to comply with important welfare legislation puts Europe’s pigs at risk of profound suffering.This graphic footage, released at a press conference in Brussels on 21 January 2010, is intended to raise awareness of this scandal with the European public.Following our press launch in Brussels, the scandal of Europe's illegal pig farms has received coverage in over 11 countries throughout Europe and beyond. The results of the undercover investigations have been covered by publications such as the daily French newspaper, Liberation, the Dutch national newspapers De Telegraaaf and De Pers, the Belgian online news source De Standaard and Swedish National TV, Aktuellt, with an audience of 940,000 (watch from 3.17 min for the full report)."Media coverage:
