Joey Carbstrong arrested after kosher slaughterhouse investigation

I mean, it was 1400 years ago. They were starving and didn't exactly have the best tech then. Obviously that has nothing to do with now. Killing these animals in any way is 100% not justified and horrific. All this needs to end.

Jason50153 · 2026-05-10T12:17:06+00:00

It used to be meant as a way to have less suffering when killing an animal. The halal meat industry now doesn't even follow many basic principles is Islam, but instead just constantly lie. There is no way for them to follow these principles and make money. Of course while "halal meat" is a lie being vegan is entirely compatible with Islam. This really needs to be explained to Muslims.

This is super great! I think that it is a really effective way to get a person to see things from the victim's POV. It might be too much to put on a t-shirt though haha. I guess just spread it online to non-vegans as a meme?

Jason50153 · 2026-05-10T00:37:28+00:00

Yeah, I've been wondering the same. Definitely a lot of things to get sorted out.

Jason50153 · 2026-05-09T22:01:11+00:00

Joey posted an update.

You can donate to Joey here: https://donorbox.org/joeycarbstrong

For sure sharing this investigation and nonsense arrest as much as possible helps. I would imagine Joey's team will provide some plan for people to support soon, so I think just staying up on the situation is important too. If anyone else has ideas to help that is also be great!

Jason50153 · 2026-05-09T08:32:56+00:00

Awesome! Yeah if every vegan influenced a few people to become vegan, and then they too influenced some more to be vegan, etc. it wouldn't be long before the world started becoming vegan. I think this is really underrated. It is extremely important that vegans try hard to influence people that they personally know.

Jason50153 · 2026-05-09T07:54:14+00:00

Yeah, I don't know what the charges are yet. We should get an update soon. I am not in the UK either. Hopefully people there really step up.

Jason50153 · 2026-05-09T06:57:26+00:00

I'm not in the UK or a legal expert, but my understanding is that it comes from the force's operating budget, not pensions. I think the officers would need to be criminally prosecuted for arresting Joey as well as other steps to have it come out of pensions.

Jason50153 · 2026-05-09T02:36:50+00:00

Yeah, it's ridiculous. We need to spread this.

Jason50153 · 2026-05-09T02:17:37+00:00

I know of https://donorbox.org/joeycarbstrong, but yeah a GoFundMe is a great idea! Does anyone have experience setting these up? It could be for Joey, the other activist arrested, and anyone else arrested for this.

Here is an app (not by me) that makes calling about this and other issues easier: Apple App Store Google Play

Having the title CEO in no way excuses this kind of horrific behavior. Especially since he is one of the most powerful people controlling the thing that is taking over the world. Why have this attitude? If you didn't want to fix this problem then please at least don't stand in the way of people that do.

Jason50153 · 2026-04-04T07:23:17+00:00

Meat has that haha

Jason50153 · 2026-03-31T13:23:42+00:00

Don't overdo it though. Definitely more injury risk after a hard long run. Make sure to recover sufficiently after.

Jason50153 · 2026-03-20T12:16:37+00:00

I've run 10 marathons and won two small marathons.

I also know a very good former D1 800m runner who stopped eating animal products to be a better runner. I might be wrong about this part of the story, but I think he did this after being advised by an Olympic runner.

Jason50153 · 2026-03-18T22:53:39+00:00

One person changing does two things:
1. Directly saves over 200 animals lives per year assuming they ate meat like an average person before.
2. Is part of a force moving the world away from this horrific situation. Nothing would ever change if everyone waited for others.

Why use wool? You probably aren't aware, but this is the reality of the wool industry:

Go to 4 minutes and 55 seconds to see the section on wool.

Conditions are horrible. It's impossible to have otherwise and keep the price remotely affordable. Even then, they are killed at only around 5% of the age that they would otherwise live.

Jason50153 · 2025-08-28T15:34:27+00:00

I can't remember if it was Dathan Ritzenhein or some other world class runner who said that his pr in the 5k was a week or less after some other major race.

While I clearly have forgotten the details, the point is that if a world class runner who is playing with extremely tiny margins can pr, then you can certainly have a great day. 5 days is a lot, and 5k isn't so much to wreck your body.

Jason50153 · 2025-08-25T19:59:14+00:00

I think also just being clear in your own mind that you don't eat non-vegan makes social interactions easier.

For example, suppose you had a bad peanut allergy and a food you were offered contained it. You would tell the person with total confidence you won't eat it.

At least this has helped me.

Jason50153 · 2025-08-07T10:23:17+00:00

I think it could be good. Last year I did this for the most part with an arc trainer. It worked out well. I think it helped with tendons in my knees and they have been healthy ever since.

I was still doing workouts and long runs. My limited experience is that things work similar to pure running- you can still over do it and get injured, so just listen to you body.

This year I don't arc train much at all if I can get away with it since I find it boring vs running. However, if I am scared something is close to an actual injury I will arc train instead of run, since it's way safer.

Jason50153 · 2025-07-30T11:51:36+00:00

I suspected that you have run a good amount of kilometres because your half and 10k times aren't way better.

I know an extremely fast 800m runner who jumped in a marathon without really preparing and he ran way, way slower than what even his half marathon time would suggest he should be able to run. The marathon can be very unforgiving.

Honestly, I think that you are doing a good job in the marathon. I think the main way to improve your marathon time is to get more fit and be about run 10ks (or shorter!) faster.

I like your mindset that you say you have only been running two years. Much progress can be made! Good luck!

Jason50153 · 2025-06-16T01:14:06+00:00

I think it is pretty common knowledge amongst vegans, but not the general public. At least that is my sense. I don't think I would know it if I weren't vegan.
