More information:

They were burnt alive -- 20,000 pigs packed into tiny pens with nowhere to run.



But his farms were hell long before the fire: sick piglets beaten to death, extreme overcrowding, animals left suffering with broken bones and protruding organs.



Dutch farmer Adriaan Straathof has a gruesome reputation and Germany has already banned his farming. Now other EU countries must do the same.



The farmer hopes to just carry on, but if we make this huge, we can force a whole new level of scrutiny, and get regulators to suspend his permits while all his farms are urgently investigated. There’s no time to lose!
