Shocking Videos Reveal Animal Cruelty at Vaud Pig Farm

Allegations of animal cruelty have emerged against a pig farming operation in the canton of Vaud, Switzerland, following the release of footage depicting the mistreatment of livestock.

The Observatoire du spécisme released images filmed in early 2026 at a pig maternity ward. The footage reportedly shows piglets being mistreated and sows subjected to violence.

The facility in question is located in the Broye region, specifically within the municipality of Corcelles-près-Payerne and is owned by the company Annen.

The footage was brought to public attention through a video presented by a radio host and reporting from regional outlets, including 24 Heures and La Liberté.

In response to the revelations, the Observatoire du spécisme has announced its intention to take legal action regarding the documented conditions at the farm.

Parallel to the legal efforts, a public petition has been launched calling for the immediate closure of the Annen pig maternity ward.

The farm has been singled out for animal maltreatment as the evidence of the methods used at the Broyard facility becomes public.
