BREAKING: Australian-first covert footage of baby goats being killed at high profile Victorian farm released

Confronting footage of baby goats being killed by the trailer-load using a captive bolt gun and then thrown into a bin has been released this morning by animal protection organisation, Aussie Farms.

The footage is taken at a farm in Trafalgar owned by John Gommans of Gippy Goat Cafe, which was subject to a high profile protest by animal activists late last year.

The goats, only hours old, scream in fear and writhe in pain after being shot with the captive bolt. Their crime is being born male and therefore a waste product to the industry because they cannot produce milk.

The release of the footage comes as activists prepare to give evidence at the Melbourne hearing for the Inquiry into the Impact of Animal Rights Activism on Victorian Agriculture this morning.

Director of Aussie Farms, Chris Delforce, will give evidence at the inquiry and call for the committee to focus on the reason why whistleblowers feel compelled to break trespass laws: legalised animal cruelty.
