Undercover investigation at JV Richards, Cornwall
Animal Aid filmed sheep, pigs and calves being killed over five days in January 2009.
Despite it being illegal, we filmed many pigs being kicked in the head and face. These images are screen grabs from undercover footage taken at JV Richards in Truro, Cornwall.

Notes to Editors:
- The three slaughterhouses are: JV Richards in Truro, Cornwall; AC Hopkins in Taunton, Somerset; and Pickstock in Swandlicote, Derbyshire. Illegal breaches were filmed at the first two. Click on the links above to view footage and photos taken at each slaughterhouse.
- Animal Aid investigators observe strict biosecurity at all times. We consulted a senior Trading Standards officer to ensure that we adopt all necessary measures and that we are always in full compliance.
