Sickening scenes of animal suffering exposed on farm supplying international meat brand El Pozo

Animal Equality, in collaboration with the Spanish TV program Salvados, investigated Hermanos Carrasco, a pig farm located in Spain’s Murcia region and supplier of the international meat company El Pozo. We discovered animals in shockingly cruel conditions, in violation of the law, suffering for days and weeks on end.

Pigs deformed by giant hernias and abscesses, severely infected ulcers, cannibalism, dead animals in a state of putrefaction next to those who are still alive... all apparently without veterinary care.

This farm is a scandal of negligence in the face of severe animal suffering.

We are calling on El Pozo to implement an animal protection policy that prohibits the use of gestation crates, farrowing crates, and painful mutilations.

Sign and share to help protect pigs from this extreme abuse.

As a stockist of El Pozo meat products, we are calling on you to take immediate action over the extreme abuse and neglect of pigs in their supply chain.

Inside Hermanos Carrasco, a pig farm located in Spain’s Murcia region which supplies El Pozo, Animal Equality’s investigators discovered animals in grotesquely cruel conditions, in violation of the law, suffering for days and weeks on end without veterinary care.

This farm is a scandal of negligence in the face of severe animal suffering. We, the undersigned, call on El Pozo to implement an animal protection policy that prohibits the use of gestation crates, farrowing crates, and mutilations.
