PIG site sparks debate #animalcruelty AUSTRALIAN Pork Limited (APL) has taken action against a website run by Animal Liberation which claims to expose the "inside story" on intensive livestock management practices. APL filed a complaint with Domain Administration (auDA), the policy authority and industry self-regulatory body for the .au domain space, citing concerns about the spread of misinformation on industry practices. APL wants the website “Australian Pig Farming: The Inside Story” removed or transferred to APL ownership, saying it’s being used to publish images taken in potentially illegal covert operations on piggeries in recent months, including at Blantyre Farms and Lansdowne Piggery in NSW. Adding to the controversy, Animal Liberation issued a statement this week saying it had now published footage taken from a sixth Australian piggery as part of the ongoing internet campaign. “Boen Boe Stud Piggery, at Joadja NSW, is the latest intensive pig farm to be exposed by Animal Liberation ACT, with (the) release of covertly obtained photos and footage depicting the same cruelty seen earlier at Wally’s Piggery, Allain’s Piggery, Tennessee Piggery, Lansdowne Piggery and, most recently, Strathvean Piggery,” the statement said. farmweekly.au/news/agriculture/livestock/other/pig-site-sparks-debate/2672466.aspx?storypage=0
