A shocking footage emerged showing an overweight farm worker killing dozens of piglets by jumping on them while his colleague laughs filming.

The two farm workers posted the disturbing video on WhatsApp and it was seen by the farm manager, who called the police, as Daily Mail reports

Investigators said 19 of the animals were killed instantly after being squashed to death and another 53 died later from crush injuries.

A Guardia Civil spokesman said in a statement: ‘When the piglets were in the transfer corridor, the pair allegedly responsible closed the entry and exit trapping the animals.

‘At that moment one of the men started filming with his mobile phone while the other jumped on the animals up to three times, falling with all his weight on them.

‘That act caused the immediate deaths of 19 piglets and another 53 were injured and subsequently died.
