This shocking video shows the moment a pig farmer ‘kung fu kicks’ an animal rights activist who staged a protest at his farm - before threatening to ‘shoot you all’.

The Meat the Victims group launched a six-month campaign to expose what they claimed to be ‘disgusting and inhumane’ conditions at Hall Green Farm.

They claim injured piglets in Wakefield, West Yorks., were left to rot in their own excrement, and were subjected to brutal treatment and painful deaths.

The disturbing scenes were caught on camera in the early hours of July 31, where the furious farmer screams ‘I’m going to get a gun and shoot you all’.

In the video, a man can be seen screaming at the activists to ‘get the f**k out now’, adding ‘all of you get out, otherwise I will wrap this f**king bar round your f**king heads’.

He then appears to run towards another member of the group before leaping into the air and kung-fu kicks him in the back.

Just a few moments later the incensed worker hits another activist and continues on his rampage.

As the group attempted to flee from the chaotic scenes, he appears to point a metal bar at them shouting ‘wrong f**king farm’ and then throws a punch at another man.

Meat the Victims describe themselves as a nonviolent movement against unjust laws that cocneal how animals are exploited and killed for human consumption.

West Yorkshire Police confirmed a man was arrested in connection with four incidents of alleged assault and released under investigation.

Robert Gordon, a spokesperson for Meat the Victims, said: "I am proud of the protesters for remaining peaceful and calm in the face of such aggression.

“We came here to shed light on the horrific conditions and immense suffering that exist in farms like this up and down the country.

“Not only are these filthy facilities cruel to the animals, but they wreak havoc on the environment and provide the perfect breeding ground for zoonotic diseases with the potential to cause the next pandemic.”

This comes after a six-month investigation uncovered shocking footage revealing filthy and dry water troughs and dying piglets writhing in pain or having violent seizures.

Hall Green houses thousands of pigs and has been subject to hundreds of complaints from local residents regarding air pollution and foul odours.

They claim that they found animals with signs of disease and infection, and hundreds of pigs which were crowded into dark sheds and covered in their own excrement and urine.

In another shocking clip, a board is revealed which shows how many piglets were ‘knocked’ - a term which refers to when a piglet’s head is smashed into the floor or wall until its death.

In just seven weeks, Hall Green Farm killed 51 piglets in this way, while another 31 died from the squalid living conditions alone according to the board.

Gordon added: "Far from being a one-off exception to the rule, Hall Green Farm is representative of the true conditions and animal abuse that occurs in this industry.

"This is the reality of where your bacon comes from.”

A man who was arrested at the farm following reports of an assault has been released under investigation, the force confirmed.

A police spokesperson said: “Police were called to a farm at Hollingthorpe Lane, Hall Green, Wakefield, at around 5.15am on Saturday (31st July 2021) following reports of an assault.

"Officers attended at the address and found a number of people present nearby. Following enquiries a man was arrested on suspicion of four offences of assault.

"The arrested man was later released under investigation and enquiries remain ongoing."

Hall Green Farm have been approached for a comment.
