79 pigs killed by dive nut

-

A FARM worker crushed 79 piglets by “belly flopping” on them in a “prank”.

The 18-year-old dived on to the animals three times while a 22-year-old colleague filmed the horror on his mobile phone.

The sick video was then uploaded to social media sites.

Nineteen piglets died at the scene at a farm in Almeria, Spain.

The others either died of their injuries later or had to be put down.

Both men have now been jailed for 15 months after a judge branded the incident “repulsive”, “cruel” and “unjustifia­ble”.
