The conviction stems from an investigation by The Humane Society of the United States documenting workers at Wyoming Premium Farms kicking live piglets like soccer balls, swinging sick piglets in circles by their hind legs, punching mother pigs and forcefully kicking them as they resisted leaving their young, among other abuses.
“Rarely do abused farm animals receive some semblance of justice, so we’re pleased with the latest criminal conviction in such a serious cruelty case,” said Leana Stormont, counsel for investigations at The HSUS. “We hope the conviction, taken with the guilty pleas entered by others charged in the case, will deter further abuse of animals on industrial factory farms.
"We are grateful to Platte County Deputy Attorney Douglas Weaver, the Platte County Sheriff, and the Wyoming Livestock Board for their diligent and thorough response to our cruelty complaint and for ensuring that laws to protect animals are enforced and defendants who abuse animals are punished.”

Six other employees from Wheatland, Wyo.-based Wyoming Premium Farms – Patrick Ruckavina, Richard Pritekel, Edward Pritekel, Kali Oseland, Steve Perry and David Bienz – previously pled guilty to multiple counts of cruelty to animals as a result of The HSUS’ undercover investigation.
One plea for former Assistant Manager Shawn Colson is still pending.
