The following are just some of the abuses that were documented:
A supervisor shoved a cane into a sow's vagina, struck her on the back about 17 times, and then struck another sow.
Multiple pigs were beaten with metal gate rods, and lacerations were found on more than 30 sows - which is probably evidence of more abuse.
A worker hit a young pig in the face four times with the edge of a herding board, and investigators witnessed dozens of similar incidents involving this worker and 11 other workers.
Two men - including a supervisor - were witnessed jabbing clothespins into pigs' eyes and faces. A supervisor also poked two animals in the eyes with his fingers.
A supervisor kicked a young pig in the face, abdomen, and genitals to make her move and told PETA's investigator, "You gotta beat on the bitch. Make her cry."
A worker who weighed an estimated 315 lbs. punched a sow on the back three times and said that he sat on a sow's head.

Re: to any/all meateaters, please avoid Hormel products
Sat, July 4, 2009 - 5:57 PMWhen I worked in Minnesota in the grocery industry it was an established fact that Hormel bought the cheapest meat it could get it's hands on, so much that was rejected by the rest of the industry....sick, underweight and unhealthy animals. I hate the abuse reported here...and they were not concerned with our health
