Photos: PETA Hormel Supplier Investigation

PETA’s undercover investigation at a pig factory farm that supplies piglets to be grown and killed for Hormel revealed cruelty to animals.

Sow #13319 sustained multiple cuts to her back, likely the result of being beaten and scraped with a gate rod while being moved from the gestation building to the farrowing building.

A mother pig and her piglets severely confined to a small farrowing crate during nursing.

Piglets' tails were cut--and males castrated--without painkillers. This is a pile of pig tails and testicles on the floor.

A worker slammed these piglets' heads against the floor and left them to die in a bin.
