          <inserted>PIRSA received an email from a concerned member of the public, which contained both photos and videos of pigs allegedly taken from the Dublin site, owned by Andgar Props. The videos showed significant overcrowding of pigs in an 'eco shelter' and pigs covered in mud due to the shelter not being cleaned out. </inserted>

          <inserted>A second video showed pigs struggling to walk through deep mud and wet shelter litter in what appeared to be a separate eco shelter. Both videos showed unacceptable living conditions due to overcrowding of pigs and inadequate cleaning of the shelters. PIRSA immediately passed the email and footage to the RSPCA, who are the lead agency for animal welfare investigations.</inserted>
