Inside Wiles Farm

HFA Takes Action Against Ohio Hog Factory

This is an abridged copy of the full 77–page complaint to Canton, Ohio criminal prosecutor Frank Forchione regarding conditions at Wiles Farm.

Beaten, bludgeoned to death, repeatedly shocked with an electric prod, strangled by hanging, starved, shot, drowned in their own urine and feces, cannibalized. The rescued animals we showed you yesterday survived in these unconscionable torture chambers for years.

These are the least graphic photos from the HFA petition we’re showing you here.

It’s our understanding that after the original airing of this investigation by WKYC reporter Bill Safos and the follow-up story that aired yesterday with Rep. Dennis Kucinich, the station has been swamped with calls and emails from horrified viewers around the country asking what people can do to help. We have a few suggestions:

• Make sure HFA has the resources they need to pursue this criminal case through the courts.


• Let Rep. Kucinich speak for YOU, these animals, and millions more like them once again. You don’t have to be a 10th District resident to say “enough is enough.”
  
  
• Thank WKYC for their commitment in bringing this investigation to you.
