So Circle Four is a farm that processes and kills
1.2 million pigs every year and these pigs live in
unfathomable misery. So today we've got four or five hours from now
we're going to be out there on the farm.
Paul's going to be manning the camera.  The rest of you are going to help me with logistics and supplies.
Again if we see an animal who we can take out,
we'll take them out.  But our main objective today is exposure--to show the world what's actually happening behind these closed doors,
So are you all ready to go?
You ready to go?
Let's do this.
So we're outside of a dumpster at circle four and
they literally just took a mother pig who was sick and not able to stand any longer--threw her in here head first with a pile of
probably a hundred dead babies. And when we just got here we could still hear the blood dripping from her body. And
you know she probably died from blunt force trauma of the head. She's covered with all sorts of disgusting
feces, blood, rotten corpses.  And
again, this is what happens at every single pig farm in the world because they treat these animals as if they're just things.  But they're
not things. They're living creatures, and they deserve better than this.
OK folks, we are about to go into Circle Four. This is the heart of evil.
You can already hear the screams of the mother pigs inside in the cramped (I couldn't understand it here)
suffering and we're going to try and expose what is actually happening inside. You guys ready to go? (they acknowledged yes)
Let's turn our lights on.
(door is opening. Sounds of pigs)
(pigs making sounds of suffering)
I told them if we get any communication then we need to leave. So all you have to do is listen for any communication.
This facility is massive. Even just this one barn
you can see down here: aisle after aisle after aisle of mother pigs. There are hundreds--hundreds
of  mother pigs even in this one barn. But there are 75 thousand mothers
just like this- -- 75,000 stalls just like hers
at this site.
You can hear the constant clanging in this facility because these mother pigs are desperate to get out of their crates.
They're smashing their heads up against these crates to the point that they have
swelling on their faces--cuts on their faces. And
amazingly, this mother pig
actually broke the bar so they had to tie them shut. You can see--she broke open the bars
she was so desperate to escape. But there's no escape.
And even if she broke down this entire door she can't squeeze through this space.
This is how small the space they have to live in is.
Often times they bash their heads, their bodies and
their noses against these steel bars so much
that they're just defeated and they fall to the ground and collapse in fatigue. And that is kind of what is happening to this poor mother pig.
So she is desperate to get out of here. You can hear the wailing and screaming of the other pigs.
And it's because they all want to get out of here and they can't.  And
she'll be stuck here for at least four years. Sometimes five or six years living in a crate this size
forcibly impregnated over and over again.
And then finally killed when she can no longer produce as many piglets as this farm wants her to produce.
When she becomes unprofitable, she'll be killed. She will never step outside her entire life.
So this is a farrowing crate.
This mother pig was taken from a gestation crate facility to here to give birth.
She's  going to be with their kids for three weeks, and then they're all going to be taken away from her
And then soon sent off to slaughter.
As you can see here there's a
mess of dead piglets everywhere. Some of these piglets are stillborn.
That piglet was probably crushed to death or starved to death. And the most common forms of death
in farrowing facilities are
blunt force trauma from being crushed by confinement and starvation.
As you can see the piglets are constantly fighting for access to nipples because if they don't get enough food
they fall behind. They starve to death and they die.
So mothers  obviously suffer immensely, too, because they have to give birth over and over again.
We can see all the blood and pus and infection.
And all of this is going into their babies. All of this is going into our food system.
This violence and suffering is going into every bite of bacon that's served
at a restaurant near you.
(background voices--I can't understand them) (from the walkie talkie) You should know that we are tracking a vehicle that appears to be inside the farm)I see, I think I am tracking the same vehicle. Over.
It appears to be turning left towards us. Okay, let's go. Let's go. Come on.
Stay in the shadows. Stay in the shadows.
Samer, our car appeared to turn in our direction.
We are still watching.  We did leave
to be safe.
We will let you know if it continues to come.  You should be prepared to leave. Over. Confirmed. Over. I see a car parked pretty far down, but I would stick to the shadows. Over.
Confirmed. Over.  Let's start walking back. I already know one piglet we're going rescue. We're just going to move straight to the rescue.
So we've seen piles of dead piglets. Piglets who have been starved to death, who've been crushed to death.
And we have a little one here who's face is covered in blood.
.She's half the size of the other piglets.
She's going to die unless we get her out.  Her mother's nipples
have been cut and are so overused that they're bleeding and
you can't even get milk out of them. Her children are literally drinking blood to survive. And this little piglet in the corner
here--her face is covered in blood and she's down on the ground
She's not going to make it. So we're going to take her out.
We're gonna give her the medical care she deserves. And then we're going to take her to a sanctuary and hopefully she survives.
(piglet squeals and mother pig grunts)   (Wayne talking to the piglet) It's scary, I know. We're just going to go through here, sweetheart. That's half the ....  Alright. Be real careful. Bring her in. Support her weight.
 
Walk up
And you could see this tiny one right here
getting kicked around.  The little ones just don't get enough nutrition and eventually they will fall to the ground and will starve to death.
So when we see a little runt like this who's going to get dumped...
she's going to be killed by the industry.She''s going to be thrown into a landfill
we try to give them some help.  And that's what we're going to do today.
So we're going to take her to a sanctuary where she is going to have a good life--
where she'll no longer have to fight every single moment of her life for food, . for water and for survival.
You guys ready to go?
Okay. Take her the car.
Ok. So we're outside of Circle Four and we've taken two of these sick, tiny little runt  piglets out.
We're rushing them to receive veterinary care
but we wanted to see if they're going to--if they could drink some milk to make sure they stay hydrated.
So we're going to try out this little girl first.
(Kissing sounds.) Come on sweetheart. No?
Come on.  Now there she goes.
When you're in a movement where you're dealing with so much suffering and violence
it's so important to have that beautiful positive vision.
We need movements that inspire us to be our best selves. That don't just allow us to wallow in our depression because there are a lot of things to be depressed about but inspire us to change the world for the better. And this is why when we do our investigations
we always rescue at least one animal and often many more than one animal because we know that positive vision that hopeful story of an
Animal who
goes through
redemption --goes through recovery-- and is able to stand again and lives a happy life on a sanctuary is so important. If you don't
have that positive vision,  we're all going to burn out very quickly.
We have to see that, hey, we're doing this not just because of what we hate,
but because of what we love.  Because we believe there's something so beautiful. So great. So inspiring. God,
what else would I do with my life then fight for this?
I want this. I need this. I care about this.
I believe in this. And the more people who see that positive vision, the more people are going to be drawn into the movement.
So if you are moved by what you saw today, please, share this story.
