The Animal Protection Society said it will tighten the criteria for its Better Life label after footage showed abuse of pigs and piglets at farms permitted to use the label. The organization said it was extremely shocked by the images.

One report said the footage, shown by the BNNVARA programme BOOS, concerned four pig farmers selling pork with the Better Life label and was obtained by research group Ongehoord.
