Justice for the activists – the filmers of the pig factories on trial
In 2009 a Finnish animal rights organization Oikeutta Eläimille (Justice for Animals) published an investigation into the pig industry. 30 pig farms were filmed and the videos and pictures were shown on national media. The investigation sparked a big debate about how pigs are kept in factory farms and about how we should treat animals.
Now, two years later, a court case is coming up in October 2011. However, the authorities did not charge any pig farmers for cruelty to animals. Instead accused are two investigators, who publicly admitted having filmed some of the material.
