Heather Mills who was recently accused as hypocrite is on the move to prove her innocence. She broke into a pig farm to highlight animal cruelty. Reports say she could be charged with trespassing after breaking in.

Heather led a team of activists from the vegetarian group Viva! in a raid on Somerset's Bridgewater Farm. The group filmed their break-in to expose the "cruel conditions" the animals live in. Owner of the compound, Michael Underhill, claims the stunt has made his pigs sick because they were exposed to a disease brought onto his property by the campaigners. He is also threatening to take legal action against the group for trespassing.

Heather Mills and her partners targeted Bridgewater Farm because of the owner's use of furrowing crates and narrow pens used to house sows while they give birth and nurturing their piglets. Although the crates are legal and widely used worldwide, Viva and Heather want them outlawed. She insists she has done nothing illegal. A video footage of the raid shows her putting on overalls and disinfecting her boots before entering the compound.
