    According to the British Daily Mail reported on August 24, local time on August 23, a high standard pig farm in the United Kingdom was exposed to not to comply with the high standards and strict requirements of animal health should be observed, resulting in pigs starved into skin bones, and even similar gnawing tragic situation, the pig farm on animal health negligence is shocking.
    the farm, called Flat House Farm, is located in the countryside of Lutterworth, Leicestershire, central England.
    it is understood that raw pork produced on the farm will be marked with a red inspection mark by the quality inspection agency, meaning they are "traceable, safe to eat and responsible for the production process".
    however, undercover investigators from animal welfare group Viva installed surveillance cameras on the farm, which raises about 8,000 pigs, between March and July this year, and captured the pigs twisting their bodies in pain and being brutally killed.
    , however, what is more unacceptable than the painful slaughter of pigs is the exceptionally poor living conditions they face.
    footage shows that some of the pigs, which were fat, were starved into leather-wrapped bones, with bones on their backs and heads clearly visible, and at first glance they thought they were goats.
    in another image, some pigs die of disease or starvation, not cleaned up in time, but by the same kind of gnawing in the column.
    images also showed legged sows writhing their eyes in pain, and wild cats occasionally appearing in pigsty, nibbling on dead pigs' bodies, according to Viva, an animal welfare group.
    animal rights activists say this is not only a threat to human health, but is also likely to breed germs.
    Red Tracker, the UK's largest food quality assurance agency, said: "We are shocked by these images and protecting animal health and welfare is one of our top priorities.
    as of the evening of August 23, Red Tracker had suspended the quality certification of the pig farm. Juliet Gellatley, of
    animal welfare group Viva, said: "Our team witnessed this appalling situation at the farm and its systematic sexual abuse of pigs, which were painful in their short lives.
    not only pose serious animal welfare problems, but also create an ideal environment for mutant viruses and antibiotic-resistant superbugs.
    "animal welfare" refers to meeting the most basic physiological, psychological and behavioral survival needs of animals.
    animal welfare recognizes the use of animals for reasonable food, companionship, service and scientific research purposes, but stresses the importance of avoiding unnecessary suffering of animals when using them.
    , the core of animal welfare is to be kind to animals, and the bottom line is to oppose animal cruelty.
    concept of animal welfare is the inevitable result of the progress of human civilization, but also by most countries and regions of culture and law recognition.
    we looked at the data and found that the "Five Freedoms" (5 Freedoms) from the United Kingdom Farm Animal Welfare Council assessing animal welfare: 1, Freedom from Hunger and Thirst from Hunger and Thirst and thirst, Freedom from Discomfort Freedom from From 3, Freedom from Pain, Injury and Disease Freedom from Pain, Injury, and disease4, freedom from fear and stress Freedom from fear and distress5, freedom to express natural behavior Freedom to normal patterns of behavior.
