Handout screen grab from a new video filmed by animal-rights association L214 in a pig farm in Limoise, in the Allier region of France, released on Friday December 3, 2020. The farm in question is highlighted by Herta to illustrate its Preference sector. L214 announces that it is filing a complaint against the pig farm for ill-treatment of the animals and for deceiving the consumer against Herta, which markets charcuterie and delicatessen products. The association was able to shoot a video in this farm, in particular in the maternity wards, where sows give birth to piglets on a production line. We see the animals locked in cages barely larger than their bodies to such an extent that the sows struggle to get up. Photo by L214 via ABACAPRESS.COM
