Welcome, this is the Pig Business blog, where we will keep you up to date on the progress of the film and the campaign.
Since the film was broadcast on More 4 in June we have had many screenings at national conferences, local meetings and even just between friends all over the UK, as well as screenings worldwide- from New York to New Zealand.
We are giving a DVD out for free to anyone that will organize a screening. The film is also available on you tube and Channel 4 OD.
To alert MPs to the issues and spread our message of promoting sustainable humane farming and create clear labelling of pork products we are holding an event at the House of Commons on 27th January. To get as many MPs there as possible we need your help.
Please write to your MP here, fill in your postcode and ask them to watch the film, sign the Early Day Motion on pig farming and attend our event. MPs really respond to requests from their constituents, especially so close to an election.
To stay in touch with our progress and spread the word become a fan of our facebook page, follow our regular tweets @PigBusiness and read this blog.
And please remember: Avoid factory farmed pork and buy local, buy organic, buy British, and go for quality over quantity.
Look for these labels.
Thanks!
Dominika and the Pig Business team

Hi Dominika, I’ve just written to Diane Abbot and will let you know her reply as soon as I get one. I said the fact that appalling farming practices have severe social as well as environmental impacts (and the fact that they happen because of consumer demand from cities) makes this a core issue for urban Labour. Keep up the good work!
Hope things go well on the 27th. Keep up the good work, people need to be made more aware of where their meat is coming from and how it was raised. Best of luck
