Animal rights activist Joey Carbstrong conducted an undercover investigation at a Halal sheep and goat slaughterhouse in Arley, Warwickshire, England, revealing instances of possible animal cruelty. Footage showed rough handling of animals, ineffective restraints during slaughter, and other welfare concerns. An official investigation by the Food Standards Agency was launched, resulting in the termination of three workers at the slaughterhouse. Protesters have called for the facility to be shut down, but the investigation has also raised questions about potential Islamophobic sentiments influencing the protests.

Following the release of the footage in two YouTube videos, one being graphic, Carbstrong has brought attention to the issue of animal abuse in slaughterhouses and the need for stricter regulations. This investigation is not the first of its kind, as previous incidents in non-halal slaughterhouses have also been exposed. The findings highlight the need for increased awareness and action to ensure the humane treatment of animals in all slaughterhouses.
