Worker charged with bestiality at piggery

The alleged incident was caught on film by animal protection group Farm Transparency Project, which had installed a hidden camera at the facility to capture any alleged animal cruelty ahead of the public hearings of the Victorian parliamentary inquiry into pig welfare which began on Monday, March 11.

The group handed over the footage to police, who charged a 30-year-old man from the Campaspe Shire with bestiality on March 5.

The man has been bailed to appear at the Echuca Magistrates’ Court in June.

Country News attempted to contact the piggery for comment but was unsuccessful.
