The pictures that PETA published from this pig farm in Günthersdorf (Friedland) are no exception – it is the rule in the German pig farms.
In August 2017, PETA filed a complaint with the competent public prosecutor’s office in Frankfurt (Oder) for violating the Animal Welfare Act.
For many serious violations of the Livestock Farming Ordinance.
In addition, the veterinary office of the Oder-Spree district was informed about the abuses.
But the catastrophic conditions were not turned off.
As we see in Video, (and here, nobody needs translation) the pigs have to live in their own excrement in this farm. Coughing animals were documented because of the ammonia.
Also, tumors, eye infections, injured limbs were documented. Many pigs are bitten and bloodied from other pigs on the tips of their ears, because these intelligent and clean animals permanently suffer from boredom, stress and catastrophic living conditions.
Finally, if the costs in the farm are higher than the “economic value” of the animal, it is not uncommon to kill – legally and illegally. Also in this operation (video) dying and already dead animals were documented.
They will end up in the garbage – after a painful life.
PETA has already documented and published massive animal protection violations in this pig farm in Günthersdorf, Brandenburg.
But nothing has been done by either the policy or the veterinary office.
The pig farm belongs to the farmer AG Neißetal, which was subsidized by the EU in 2016 for more than 888,000 Euros,
– among other things for their livestock husbandry!!!

Petition: Please help the pigs in Brandenburg
Dear Prime Minister,
PETA was again able to publish the massive animal suffering in a Brandenburg pig farm. This case clearly shows that the problem lies in the system.
Sensitive and intelligent creatures are adapted to a construct that pursues purely economic interests.
The pictures illustrate how animals will be handled in 2017: ailing, heavily stalled animal houses and dirty feed and water troughs. Sick and dying pigs can be seen, also dead and injured animals can be found in the inventory. Bloody ear tips and completely gnawed ticks are only an indication of the psychological and physical stress the animals have to endure.
It is well known how clean and intelligent pigs are, which is why they cannot be kept close to species in the withered and barren bays. In addition, they often make the hard-slatted floors and the air, which is usually contaminated with ammonia, sick. Controls seem to fail once again – or are such conditions in Brandenburg of economic interest wanted?
I therefore urge you to end the suffering of the pigs in this farm and to take measures so that the torments of all pigs in Brandenburg come to an end.

Mark, thank you for donating to the Center for Biological Diversity last year. Every dollar saves lives; every gift goes toward our love of the wild
Here’s what we accomplished together in 2017:LITIGATED: No environmental group sued Trump more than we did in 2017. We’ve filed 46 lawsuits — and counting — to beat back threats to the air we breathe, the water we drink, our climate, wildlife, public lands and public health, and we’re not about to stop now.
ACTIVATED: Through Ignite Change and other grassroots work, we mobilized more than 15,000 people across the country to stand up and speak out every time Trump and Congress try to harm wildlife, weaken pollution laws, destroy public lands or attack vulnerable communities.
ILLUMINATED: We filed more than 500 Freedom of Information Act requests to expose the Trump administration and those in Congress who value profits and pollution over people and wildlife.
PROTECTED: We secured Endangered Species Act protection for eight species. And we successfully defended 750,000 acres of protected habitat for jaguars, 6,500 acres for dusky gopher frogs and 120 million acres for polar bears.
Our promise to you for 2018: We won’t let up.
We’re in the fight of our lives for endangered wildlife and the places they live, and we’re glad you’re in that fight with us.

Dear Mark,
The Trump administration is taking its war on wildlife to the oceans.
In its latest bid to sell out our public resources, the Trump administration recently announced its intentions to expose nearly all U.S. coastal waters to dirty and dangerous oil and gas exploration.
A new five-year offshore oil leasing plan, presented last Thursday by Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke, puts coastal communities and countless marine wildlife species in real danger.
This administration is blatantly ignoring the lessons of spills like the 2010 Deepwater Horizon catastrophe – and adding insult to injury, this new plan comes just days after a proposal to repeal the offshore drilling safety regulations that were put in place to prevent a disaster like that from ever happening again.
In 2010, the world watched in horror as oil poured into the Gulf of Mexico. Bottlenose dolphins washed up dead on our shores, Kemp’s ridley sea turtles – the world’s most endangered sea turtles – were killed by the thousands and seabirds like laughing gulls sustained losses of nearly 40 percent of their populations.
We can’t let wildlife ever pay that price again.
Drilling in our oceans is a dangerous and dirty business even when there is no major disaster. Seismic blasting can deafen marine mammals like whales and dolphins; small, routine spills poison birds, turtles and other marine life; and undersea pipelines, dumping and drilling infrastructure further contaminate ocean ecosystems.
At a time when our planet needs to reduce its dependence on oil and gas in the face of climate change, the Trump administration is proposing a massive expansion that only increases the risks of climate disasters, contamination and harm to wildlife and coastal communities.
We won’t let our oceans run thick with oil that poisons precious marine wildlife and ecosystems – and we know you won’t either.
