Joey Carbstrong Exposes Cruel Reality of UK Pig Farming in New Documentary "Pignorant"
Vegan Activism
Joey Carbstrong, a renowned animal advocate, has recently unveiled a groundbreaking documentary titled "Pignorant," aiming to illuminate the grim truths of pig farming within the UK. This investigative piece, co-directed by Carbstrong and fellow activist Tarion Partridge, meticulously chronicles Carbstrong's perilous quest to unveil the harsh realities concealed within the bacon production industry.
Three Years Undercover
The documentary serves as the result of an exhaustive three-year-long undercover investigation, meticulously conducted to offer viewers an immersive glimpse into the intricate realities of pig farming within the UK. Through meticulous research and unprecedented access, Carbstrong and his team unveil the hidden facets of the industry, shedding light on the often obscured practices and their consequences for both animals and consumers.
“Pigs may not be as cuddly as kittens or puppies, but they suffer just as much.”
Carbstrong's revelation, "Unsurprisingly, I wasn't the only one kept in the dark about the main killing method for pigs," underscores the deliberate veil of secrecy shrouding the industry. With compelling footage and in-depth interviews, the film exposes how this "ignorance" is not merely incidental but strategically perpetuated to maintain the status quo and shield consumers from the uncomfortable truths of animal agriculture.
By investigating the lives of farmed pigs and unveiling the stark realities they face, "Pignorant" prompts audiences to confront the ethical implications of their dietary choices and advocates for greater transparency and accountability within the food production system.
Opening Eyes and Exposing Cruelty
Carbstrong's commitment to exposing animal cruelty has been unwavering. In 2023, he made headlines by releasing disturbing footage depicting pigs being subjected to carbon dioxide gassing in a UK slaughterhouse. This footage served as a wake-up call, revealing the harsh realities of the industry's practices.
However, "Pignorant" goes beyond mere exposure, providing a deeper and more comprehensive exploration of the systemic issues at play. Through extensive investigation and firsthand accounts, the documentary peels back the layers of secrecy surrounding pig farming, revealing not only the profound suffering endured by these animals but also the industry's concerted efforts to conceal these practices from public scrutiny.
By shining a spotlight on these hidden truths, Carbstrong's latest documentary serves as a powerful indictment of the industry's disregard for animal welfare and underscores the urgent need for reform. Through compelling storytelling and unflinching honesty, "Pignorant" challenges viewers to confront the uncomfortable realities of modern agriculture and consider the ethical implications of their food choices.
A Deep Dive into Corruption and Abuse
Through expert interviews and whistleblower testimonies, the documentary uncovers the systemic corruption and heartbreaking abuse that exists within the UK pig farming industry. Carbstrong explains, "I knew I had to expose what happens to pigs inside these gas chambers, no matter the risk. I went into the darkness to bring the truth to light."
Carbstrong's fearless pursuit of justice serves as a beacon of hope amidst the darkness, inspiring viewers to confront the uncomfortable truths of animal agriculture and advocate for change. By exposing the hidden horrors of pig farming, "Pignorant" sparks a crucial conversation about the ethical implications of our food choices and calls for a more humane and compassionate approach to food production.
Shining a Light on Undercover Activism
Beyond exposing the industry's practices, "Pignorant" also sheds light on the critical role of undercover investigations in uncovering animal cruelty. Carbstrong, a respected advocate with a large online following, uses his platform to highlight the vital work done by him and other activists.
A Personal Connection to Pigs
Carbstrong's dedication to this cause stems from a deep personal connection to pigs. "When I first learned about their slaughter methods, I was shocked," he reveals. "My activism became focused on bringing light to this reality."
Beyond UK Pigs: Exposing Turkey Farm Abuses
Last year, Carbstrong's undercover cameras captured "shocking" conditions on a UK turkey farm, leading to Red Tractor suspending the farm. This further demonstrates his commitment to exposing animal cruelty across different industries.
Empowering Change Through Awareness
"Pignorant" aims to ignite a fire for change and empower viewers to take action. Carbstrong hopes the film "creates awareness and sparks change, demanding justice for pigs."

Carbstrong's groundbreaking documentary is currently available to stream on Amazon Prime. It will soon be available on other platforms as well.
