We want to live on a healthy, peaceful planet. A planet where forests flourish, oceans are full of life and where once-threatened animals safely roam.

The body of a dead piglet sticks out of a broken bin outside the industrial pig farm Vandvaerksgaarden in the small town of Tingerup, 60 kilometers west of Copenhagen.
When this photo was taken, all five bins were filled with dead pigs, but only this one shows the content because of the broken lid.
Once a week a truck picks up the bodies and drives them to a destruction plant. Daka, a Danish company partly owned by Danish Crown, collects the dead animals. The company produces feed for pets and biofuels out of organic waste products.
Dead pigs are also seen in front of other factory farms in the area.
Before the pigs were just thrown in the roadside, but after protests from local residents the municipality demanded that the bodies must be covered by a plastic shield.
Residents tell about frequent intolerable smells, noise pollution and health problems. In spite of this the local authorities keep on permitting the factory farmer to expand his farms.
