- An undercover investigation by Aussie Pigs took place inside Wondaphil Piggery, a pig farm owned by the Wondaphil Pork Company and is located in Tragowel, VIC Australia. This is a typical pig farm in Australia, with industry-standard cruelty including extreme prolonged confinement, injuries and death, and lots of filth.
- In early 2014, Aussie Pigs went undercover in Aroora Piggery, a standard 500 sow farrow-to-finish pig farm in Jervois, where mother pigs are confined to tiny metal cages within farrowing crates for up to six weeks at a time. At least one of them was found to live in her own excrement. In some of the crates, sows were found to be subjected to water constantly dripping from water pipes and onto them. One of the only differences from most intensive pig farms in Australia is the fact piglets don't have their tails cut off, but they still have chunks cut out of their ears for identification purposes.
- In 2013, an undercover investigation took place inside Golden Grove Piggery, one of Blantyre Farms' piggeries near Young NSW, to reveal the atrocities the pigs and piglets were subjected to.
- An undercover investigation done by Aussie Pigs took place inside Selko Piggery in Narrandero NSW, where there is "group housing" without sow stalls, since it rather comprises six sheds laid out in an east-west direction. During the investigation, many dead and dying piglets were found, while many sows were found with injuries on their teats. One of the only differences from most Australian piggeries is the fact the piglets' tails are not cut of.
- In September 2013, Animal Liberation ACT went undercover inside Strathvean Piggery, where standard animal cruelty found in other pig farms were found. Mother pigs were confined to metal and concrete gestation crates known as sow stalls and farrowing crates, dead and dying piglets were lying around, the so-called "grower" pig became overcrowded, and not at least uncleanliness and hard, concrete floors for all the animals.
- In the middle of 2014, an undercover investigation was done by Aussie Pigs at one of the of the farrowing sheds in Nambeelup Piggery, a medium-sized farrow-to-finish farm approximately 70km south of Perth. This is just a typical farm in Australia, with pigs confined to small cages on hard metal floors for many weeks at a time, and dead and dying piglets lying nearby.
- In the middle of 2014, an undercover investigation by Aussie Pigs took place inside Mindarra Piggery, a piggery that is comprised of 4 separate modules, and is WA's largest pig farm. Despite having faced multiple charges of animal cruelty since 2007, nothing had been changed. Activists went to module 1, where pigs were confined to tiny cages and one suffered from painful prolapse. Sick and dead piglets were found, some in buckets. Sows and piglets were subjected to cold water constantly spraying on them from a broken water pipe, while several rats were seen among the pigs.
- An undercover investigation by Aussie Pigs took place inside Roseworthy Piggery, a pig farm owned by the University of Adelaide's Roseworthy Campus and houses 360 pigs. It feature experimental "farrowing pens", where standard cruelty is found in common with most other piggeries: Sows being confined to tiny metal cages, along with dead and dying piglets, all living in filthy conditions like their own excrement. Mutilation was also found.
- In the middle of 2014, Aussie Farms and Animal Liberation WA went undercover inside Narrogin Piggery, a large grow-out facility in Dumberning that can contain up to 9500 pigs. There, pigs were left to live in tightly-packed concrete pens, filled with their own excrement, while a dead pig was dragged outside one of the sheds.
- In early 2014, an Aussie Pigs undercover investigation took place inside St Arnaud Piggery, a pig farm owned by Rivalea Australia and spread over two sites in St Arnaud, Victoria. The footage presented here was taken in Units 2 and 3, where sows were found with pressure sores due to lying on hard concrete floors for a long time, while others suffered from painful prolapses. Some were even spray-painted with "Cull" and "Abort". Dead piglets were left in the aisles, one of them with a cut open throat. Also, piglets had their tails and ears routinely cut without pain relief.
- In August 2012, authorities raided Wally's Piggery, where brutal treatment and illegal slaughter of pigs took place.
- In early 2014, Aussie Pigs worked undercover inside Light Piggery in Lower Light, which is a small grower-only piggery designed to fatten pigs to slaughter-weight. The pigs, that are originally sent from a breeding or farrow-to-finish piggery, are confined to wooden pens and stay there for the entire life. Also, a pig that had died in the corner of a pen had apparently been there for many days, as its bones and insides spilled out into the aisle, and its remaining flesh was eaten by other pigs.
- In early 2014, Aussie Pigs went undercover inside Balpool Station Piggery, a pig farm owned by Rivalea Australia and one of the largest piggeries in the NSW. Not only were industry-standard confinement in small cages and surgical mutilation of piglets without pain relief found, but many dead piglets and injured sows were found, while one sow was seen suffering from a large, deformed prolapse.
- In October 2013, an undercover investigation was done by Animal Liberation inside Wongalea Piggery, and captured footage that reveals the same industry-standard cruelty found in earlier pig farm investigations. In this farm, pigs were confined to tiny metal cages in farrowing crates for up to six weeks at a time, and were only let out to be forcefully reimpregnated. Dead and dying piglets were simply everywhere.
- Wally's Piggery was closed down after almost a year of covert investigation done by Animal Liberation ACT and NSW, and a campaign to have it closed. Now it's just an eerie reminder of what it once was: A hellhole for pigs.
- In May 2014, Aussie Farms and Animal Liberation QLD went undercover inside Brentwood Piggery near Dalby QLD. With industry-standard cruelty in farrowing crates, sow stalls and group sow housing being found, a severed piglet head was found in the aisle of the farrowing crates, but the rest of its body was never found.
- In May 2013, activists from Animal Liberation returned to Allain's Piggery, only to find out that the living conditions were just as atrocious as ever. Mother pigs were crammed into farrowing crates (also called "sow stalls"), and several of them had bad but untreated wounds. Meanwhile, the piglets in the farm lived in fear, and there was barely any to no light.
- During an investigation held by Animal Liberation inside Westmill Products "Lansdowne" Piggery, the life of pigs that are confined to gestation crates for between 6 and 16 weeks are revealed.
- An undercover investigation took place inside Boen Boe Stud Piggery NSW in Joadja, where pigs were kept inside tiny metal and concrete cages in farrowing crates, many with bleeding wounds, while dead and dying piglets were lying everywhere. Some of the sows had injuries from ear cutting, a painful process inflicted on them in a few days of age for identification purposes. This is a standard form of animal cruelty that have been found in every other pig farms.
- An undercover investigation by Aussie Pigs took place inside Dublin Piggery (its actual name is unknown), a small farrow-to-finish piggery in Dublin SA that contains farrowing crates and sow stalls, resulting with common cruelty including prolonged confinement of sows, injuries and death, filthy conditions, and piglet mutilation without pain relief. However, a piglet was found severed in half, while another had been partially eaten.
- In August 2012, activists from Animal Liberation ACT and NSW went to two different piggeries (Allain's and Tennessee Piggery), to prove that the atrocities that were found in Wally's Piggery NSW wasn't just an one-time case, but standard in the Australian pig farming. Many mother pigs were forced to live in gestation crates with less room than battery cages for hens. Allain's had rats roaming around spider web infested shed, and Tennessee had feral cats sharing stalls with piglets. One section of the Tennessee Piggery had the heat lamps for the piglets being off or broken, leaving the piglets shivering in the darkness.
- At Wally's Piggery, around 15 minutes from Canberra, Australia, sow pigs are confined to very tiny cages, unable to even make a small movement, and are repeatedly impregnated. Injuries and death are common for piglets and pigs because of restricted space, filthy conditions and abuse by workers. The owner of the farm brutally murders helpless pigs by using a sledgehammer, while his employees watch and drink beer. Sometimes, remains of dead pigs are left to be eaten by stray cats or other pigs.
- In October 2013, Animal Liberation ACT exposed Pine Park Piggery, a pig farm in Temora NSW where pigs were confined to tiny cages in farrowing crates, and i sow stalls, while dead and dying piglets were simply lying around.
- Using handheld camera, Animal Liberation went undercover inside Blantyre Farms' Dead Horse Gully (DHG) Piggery near Young NSW, where pigs were crammed together into overcrowded sheds, without getting to see any sunlight until they were transported to Cowra abattoir. The pigs ate the stubs of each others' tails due to boredom, but little to nothing were done to treat the large wounds.
- In 2014, Aussie Pigs investigated inside Korunye Park Piggery, a piggery that contains two separate farrow-to-finish modules. In each of the modules, pigs were found confined to farrowing crates and sow stalls, and the piggery structures were dilapidated and covered in cobwebs and dirt. In addition to the confinement, deaths, injuries and mutilation without pain relief, multiple piglets appeared to suffer from a mange-like condition.
