Bayard, IA- New details in the undercover investigation by an animal rights' group at an Iowa pig farm.
   Six workers are out of their jobs and charged with animal abuse.
Action 3 News dug deeper and uncovered even more accusations.
 Court documents outline bizarre behavior with metal rods, clothes pins and spray paint.

  People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals released new parts of the undercover video it recorded for months this summer.  
  The breeding farm is 80 miles from Omaha in Bayard, Iowa,  run by a Minnesota company, MowMar Farms,  which provides meat to Hormel in Austin, MN. 
  The Greene County Sheriff arrested six workers, who now face 22 charges of animal abuse. They are Shawn Lyons, Jordan Anderson, Greg Hackler, Shelly Mauch, Richard Ralston, Alan Rettig.

 Suspect Greg Hackler talked about the video after it was made public in September, "I think it's blown way out of context, that's the way we were trained to do it." He defended how he was trained to kill the piglets by slamming their heads into a concrete floor. That part of the video is too gruesome for us to show on television.  
Hackler says, "We were not given anything to euthanize the piglets. We were told to take them and swing them real hard and knock into the concrete. They died instantly after that."

 The video shows blue  spray paint all over one pig's snout. Court records say the workers called it "huffing sows." Huffing is a slang term people use to get high from sniffing paint.

 You can hear one worker on the tape cussing at the animals and saying,"Don't be afraid to hurt 'em."  Another worker admitted to sodomizing the animals with metal rods, shoving clothes pins in the eyes and genitals. He said he takes his frustrations out on them.

  The former workers face a maximum of two years in prison, if convicted of the charges.
