NINE former workers at Wyoming Premium Farms LLC, including an assistant manager, have been cited for animal cruelty for egregious animal abuse of pigs and sows at the farm. The nine were caught on an undercover video filmed by an "investigator" for The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) who had taken employment at the farm last spring and secretly taped the workers' handling and treatment of the animals (Feedstuffs, May 14). They were charged Dec. 21 after an investigation by the Platte County (Wyo.) Attorney's Office in conjunction with the Platte County Sheriff's Department and Wyoming Livestock Board.
