Because of the supply chain breakdowns caused by Covid 19 in the meat industry, pork producer Iowa Select Farms is mass exterminating its herds by roasting pigs alive by the thousands. Profoundly disturbing new story & video by @ggreenwald and me. https://theintercept.com/2020/05/29/pigs-factory-farms-ventilation-shutdown-coronavirus/

Hidden cameras planted by animal rights activists, along with the testimony of a whistleblower who works for Iowa Select, reveal the horror that the industry is trying to conceal. https://twitter.com/theintercept/status/1266404364962410496

Iowa Select's owners were the biggest ind'l donors to the campaign of the current Iowa Gov. Last yr @DavidZlutnick, @lhfang and I reported on how they used that influence to pass a new Ag Gag law to criminalize undercover investigations of their industry. https://theintercept.com/2019/10/12/meat-industry-ag-gag-laws/
