The Truth About CO2 Gas Chambers
Big Ag calls it humane slaughter. We call it what it is.
The factory farming industry uses CO2 gas chambers to kill millions of pigs every year. Why? Because it’s fast. It’s cheap. It works at scale.
Undercover footage shows pigs panicking, screaming and gasping for air as CO2 fills the gas chamber and suffocates them to death.
For over 20 years, the government’s Animal Welfare Committee has warned it causes severe animal suffering. In 2003, they called for a full phase-out. But instead, the use of CO2 has only increased.

Don’t buy it
In April 2026, the Ban CO2 Gas Chambers campaign hit the London Underground.
With Diane Morgan, Dr Amir Khan, Jen Brister, Mathew Pritchard, and Shabaz Ali alongside us, we put one message in front of millions of commuters:
Don’t buy it.
When chickens can’t stand up in factory farms, pigs are being killed in gas chambers and our Sunday roast comes with a side of antibiotics, it’s time to take a stand. Because this isn’t a few bad apples. It’s the whole orchard.
Action We’re Taking
We’re taking the message beyond the screen. Visibility across London, people on the ground, and growing a movement to expose the deceits of factory farming.
Factory Farming is Messed Up
Ever get the feeling you’re being lied to?
When most people think of farms, they picture grassy fields, and happy animals like we see in the ads. But over the past 80 years, small-scale farming has been replaced by dirty industrial systems. We’re talking abscesses in meat, gas chambers, piglet thumping, cannibalism, filth, disease, mutilations, flies, rotting carcases, and antibiotic-riddled meat.
