We are currently doing an investigation on pig farms in Spain, including intensive and extensive/free-range farms (tho extensive ones are scarce since intensive ones are the majority in the industry). There's a donate button on the homepage of AnimalEquality right at the bottom of the "Pig Farms" panel. Thanks a lot.
