UK firsts
Carried out the UK's first beef farm investigation at 'mega-farm' Berryfields
Infiltrated the UK's largest independent broiler chicken hatchery to reveal the secret slaughter of newborn chicks
Had an undercover investigation inside an abattoir spoken about in Parliament by an MP
Revealed in a UK-first, the separation of cows and calves on an organic, multi-award winning dairy farm
Hired legal firm, Advocates for Animals, to ensure any breaches in legislation on farms and in abattoirs are dealt with
Revealed the violent depopulation of end-of-lay hens by RSPCA Assured chicken catching company AD Harvey
Our investigation at C&K Meats in Suffolk has revealed a horror show of abuses and suffering of thousands of pigs every week. From unloading to gassing, the facade of ‘high welfare’ at this RSPCA Assured abattoir soon faded.
In the second part of our investigation exposing cage-free egg farms, we targeted supermarket brands that market themselves as ‘market leaders’ in animal welfare, showing that misleading marketing is just a smokescreen for neglect and suffering.
We went undercover inside the UK's largest independent broiler chicken hatchery, Annyalla Chicks, to reveal the secret slaughter of newborn chicks. It exposed yet another RSPCA Assured facility using 'high welfare' as a guise for exploitation.
Following investigations inside Gressingham Food’s farms and slaughterhouse, we return to their vast concrete sheds four years later to expose the violent catching process for slaughter to show The Foul Truth behind commercial duck ‘meat’ farms.
In part-two of our investigation series into UK egg farming, we went undercover inside AD Harvey's chicken catcher 'gangs'; they were RSPCA Assured and specialise in 'depopulation'. We filmed the heart-wrenching violence hens face at the 'end of lay' for the first time in the UK.
