Agriculture inspectors have visited a pig farm in Northern Ireland after the farm had been entered last week by about 40 activists from the global movement Meat the Victims.
The Northern Ireland Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) sent inspectors to the farm to investigate potential welfare breaches.
DAERA did so after animal welfarist group Meat the Victims claimed that the animals were being kept in poor conditions. The activists entered the farm near Cloughmills, Co.
