Joey Carbstrong

Joseph Dominic Armstrong (born 26 November 1988[2]), known professionally as Joey Carbstrong, is an Australian animal rights activist.

A former criminal,[3] he has since become an advocate for animal liberation and veganism through social media and public speaking engagements, as well as debates and various televised interviews.

[8] Carbstrong has been involved in animal rights street activism in Australia, Hong Kong,[9] and the United Kingdom, promoting groups such as Anonymous for the Voiceless and the Save Movement, an organisation that holds vigils outside slaughterhouses and promotes veganism by sharing images and footage from farms and slaughterhouses on social media.

[10][11] In May 2023, Carbstrong is alleged to have published pictures taken from hidden cameras at a Pilgrim's Pride abattoir in Ashton-under-Lyne depicting the "utterly inhumane" nature of using carbon dioxide to stun pigs before being killed.

In September 2024, Carbstrong commented that "our latest investigation exposes the facade behind the RSPCA’s Assured label, which is meaningless in protecting animals".

[16][17] In April 2024, Carbstrong and six other vegan activists were arrested after they occupied an elevated area at Cranswick Country Foods in Watton.
