On April 25th/2012 a pair of men by the names of Piotr
Andrzej Wasiuta, 30 and Kelly Smith, 40 were sentenced a total of 10 weeks for
being caught in the act of pushing a lit cigarette onto the forehead and snout
of three different pigs, as well as beating them with the edge of a ‘slapper”. Wasiuta was
sentenced 6 weeks in jail for being the one who had pushed a “lit cigarette
onto the forehead and snout of three different pigs as well as and forcing hot
ash into one of the animals’ faces as it squirms to get away.” While Smith is
only sentenced 4 weeks in jail for “ hitting one pig 30 times in a minute -
forcing the animal to sit down and pant heavily during the tirade of blows.”
When reading this article I became very
disturbed to know that these men were secretly filmed by the animal rights group Animal Aid and they did not step in and notify
police that any of this was happening to those poor pigs, I understand that
they may have wanted to collect further information on these men to perchance
the increase of charges towards Wasiuta and Smith. Though if I were in their
position I would have done something knowing those pigs were being harmed. In
addition this article provides a YouTube video of the men discreetly doing
exactly as stated in the article, stubbing out cigarettes on pig’s faces and
hitting them with a baton as well as with their fist. I could only watch a
painful thirty seconds before it become too overwhelming for me to watch. The
disrespect I have towards Wasiuta and Smith is beyond me, I truly hope their
jail sentence increases for the crimes they have committed.
