Joey Carbstrong Releases First Ever UK Footage Of ‘Horrific’ CO2 Pig Gassing

Animal activist Joey Carbstrong has released the first-ever undercover footage of pigs being gassed with carbon dioxide (CO2) in a UK slaughterhouse. The distressing footage shows pigs being herded into a chamber and subjected to high concentrations of gas, resulting in apparent pain and distress as they shriek, gasp, and writhe. Despite claims of CO2 gassing being a "humane" option, experts argue that the method is fear-inducing, painful, and distressing for the animals.

The farming industry widely uses CO2 gassing for pig slaughter, with around 88 percent of pigs in the UK being killed this way. Critics like Carbstrong are advocating for more "humane" alternatives, while some believe that pigs should not be farmed and killed at all. They argue for legislation that grants non-human animals fundamental rights and protection from being considered property for profit. Carbstrong's footage, part of the upcoming feature film Pignorant, sheds light on the inhumane practices in the pig farming industry in the UK.
