The Wiles Hog Pig Farm is found not guilty of animal abuse in its practice of hanging pigs by hooking a chain to a tractor, looping it around the pig's neck and lifting him into the air (while farm hands watched)..
Viewers of the video–portions of which were shown on at least one Cleveland-area television station multiple times–saw a convulsing animal suffering for a full five minutes in the kind of agony euthanasia is supposed to stop not cause.
the entire trial here - about 43 minutes into the video
the message being that the legal system condemns abuse of companion animals - but condones - and protects in many cases - abuse of farm animals.
