Below you will find a selection of Animal Aid's undercover investigations into the farming industry - ideal for sending to friends or posting on social networking websites such as Myspace and Facebook.
This video shows the rescue of six sick and ailing chickens who were rescued from an intensive broiler shed during the course of an Animal Aid undercover investigation into modern broiler (meat) bird production.
Animal Aid made three visits to this 30,000-bird capacity unit, which is typical of such establishments across Britain. The farm held a total of more than 150,000 birds. The visits were conducted in order to film the alarmingly swift 'progress' of the birds from lively chicks to bloated, lethargic and virtually immobilised inhabitants of a shed that - because of their rapid growth - now offered them virtually no room in which to move. On the last visit, the birds were still only 39 days old. Yet, within three days, they were to be loaded onto lorries and taken to a killing factory.
