  • Industrial Farming and the Law: How necessary is the brutal slaughter of animals?
    Oct 7 2026

    What does the law say about industrial farming? Pigs are often being killed by carbon dioxide gas, despite stipulations that the animals must not undergo unnecessary harm. Although the alternatives are not much less brutal. We ask the questions, what is considered necessary harm, and when should the Government be taking action. Joining us to debate the ethics (and the law!) of the issue is CEO of Compassion in World Farming, Philip Lymbery.
