The campaign: Is this what we want to do to animals?
In 2007, Oikeutta Eläimille organisation revealed the reality of Finnish animal industry by releasing shocking footage from 101 factory farms. The footage gained much media attention and the animals' conditons were condemned widely by the public.
Two years later, nothing has changed. In the autumn of 2009, activists visited 30 pig farms, some of which had been filmed earlier. The new footage shows that pigs are still kept in appalling conditions to produce meat. All piggeries had the same basic problems. Pigs were kept in close quarters and in dirty conditions with no possibilities for exercise or other natural behaviour. Individual care was not given to the animals. In addition, animal welfare laws were being broken blatantly by many farmers: there were numerous sick animals that had not been taken care of. Open wounds, abscesses and broken limbs were some of the typical injuries.
There are over 2000 pig farms in Finland. Each year 2,5 million pigs are killed for food. Our campaign aims at revealing the truth behind advertisements by showing the public how pigs really are kept on factory farms. We want to raise debate about the position of animals in our society and to encourage people to treat animals with the respect that they deserve.
Nothing changes as long as animals are seen as products. We have the possibility to choose and the responsibility for our choices.
Open your eyes and watch the campaign footage.
