The video footage aims to encourage banning the use of carbon dioxide to stun pigs before they are killed.

Activists appeared to have installed a camera inside the facility, with the video footage showing pigs being moved before being gassed.

Activists are also shown walking around the abattoir and climbing on various structures.

Police confirmed they have not received a complaint from Rivalea.

A complaint must be lodged with police before the matter can be investigated.

Similar footage has been filmed at other abattoirs in the region, including at Benalla.

Rivalea was contacted for comment but did not return calls.
