Today Craig Wiggins wants to talk internet videos and their detrimental effect on farming.

He's seen one of a woman left distraught by sheep being transported on the Inter Island Ferry without knowing if the sheep are actually distressed.

Another video shows vegans branding each other to highlight the supposed plight of cattle. Obviously some of these videos are extreme but they can still cause damage to the farming community.

However, sometimes you don't even know you're being filmed; just ask Aaron Smith. Wiggy gives his opinion on the latest sporting scandal and the constant surveillance we're all under now with the advances in mobile phone technology.
