Please Call Hormel To Stop Pig Abuse

An Iowa sheriff launched an investigation into an undercover video showing horrific abuse of precious pigs at an evil factory farm. This is a factory farm that supplies pigs to a slaughter house where Hormel purchases their meat. Pigs were beaten horribly; amongst other tragic things. The video footage is a lot to bear. If you think "I can't watch that" – then all the more reason for you to call or email Hormel and ask them to terminate these terrible employees and prosecute them with criminal charges. Hormel has the power to enforce this. Hormel told us they fired two employees. If true, that is a start -- but not enough! Legal action must be taken. These monsters need to be made an example of so this crap will stop.

PETA has provided a link to their video and a sample email here. This video will make you maaaad. It will also make you want to do something: http://getactive.peta.org/campaign/iowa_pigfarm_abuse

Please contact Hormel quickly. Consider calling, writing a letter, or best yet, filling out the company's online form.

You can send polite, but firm comments to:
