These Photos Are Painful, But We All Need to See Them By Ellyn Kail on December 15, 2020 Last summer, the photojournalist and animal rights activist Konrad Lozinski went undercover to document life inside an integrated pig fattening barn in Poland. “This photo was taken during the daytime, in the early morning, but only bits of light could get through the little windows of the farm’s building,” he tells me. “I realized very quickly that this pig was in poor condition. He moved apathetically, as though every step caused him pain. Many, if not most, of the pigs here had fiery eye infections, including this one. Sadly, this is a very common problem on farms where pigs spend all their time in filth with poor to no ventilation. It is a perfect breeding ground for all sorts of bacteria.
