Watch 'Pig Business' - Tonight on More 4

On 30 June the British TV channel More 4 will broadcast a shocking documentary, PIG BUSINESS, which exposes for the first time the real cost of ‘cheap’ pig meat – the appalling conditions in factory farms endured by both animals and workers, the environmental pollution, the destruction of rural economies.

You’ve probably heard that Swine Flu emerged just upwind of a swine plant owned by Smithfield, a giant multinational corporation and the world’s biggest pig meat processors – that is no surprise, overcrowded pig factories are known incubators of disease and superbugs.

Smithfield does not want the truth to get out. They have already managed to stop the film being shown once, by threatening a ruinously expensive legal action. Even national newspapers trying to report on the film have been bullied into silence. We think Smithfield will keep trying: this is a case of David v Goliath, and David needs some support!

Here is what you can do:

1) Make a diary note to watch the film – 30 June, 10pm, More 4.

2) Check out the website www.PigBusiness.co.uk, view the trailer and follow us on Twitter www.twitter.com/PigBusiness

3)Exercise your consumer power: buy outdoor-bred and -reared pork in a local farmers market, or ask your supermarket to supply it.

4)Tell all your friends and contacts and encourage them to do the same.
