Three of the UK's biggest supermarkets have suspended supplies from a Lincolnshire pig farm after footage filmed covertly by an animal rights organisation appeared to show workers kicking piglets and hitting them with boards and paddles.

The footage also suggested the injured pigs with open wounds were packed into pens covered in faeces, with some left lame and writhing in pain.
