UNITED STATES FARM CRUELTY
The trial has been delayed for four people accused of abusing pig at a Greene County farm.
Richard Ralston, Alan Rettig, Jordan Anderson and Greg Hackler were arrested last October on livestock abuse and neglect charges.
The Greene County Attorney’s Office said their trials, which had been scheduled to start Tuesday, will be delayed until at least Feb. 24.
Six people were arrested after the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals released an undercover video that showed pigs being abused at a MowMar Farms facility in western Iowa.
One person, Shelly Mauch, is scheduled to go to trial on Feb. 12. Another, Shawn Lyons, pleaded guilty to animal cruelty earlier this month.
Minnesota-based MowMar has said that it no longer employs the workers.
