A fiery showdown erupted between a farmer and a vegan activist after the controversial campaigner openly admitted he wants to destroy the dairy industry.

Notorious 'vegan celebrity' Joey Carbstrong, 34, was interrupted during one his notorious animal rights stunts by an indignant dairy farmer.

In a video that has recently resurfaced on TikTok, a dairy farmer from southern NSW told Mr Carbstrong that he needed to be 'very careful' protesting the industry.

Notorious 'vegan celebrity' Joey Carbstrong, 34, was interrupted during one his public animal rights stunts by an indignant dairy farmer who said the protest could 'ruin our industry'

'You could ruin our industry,' the farmer said, to which the vegan activist replied: 'Well that's what we're trying to do'.

'We want the dairy industry to be obsolete because of the victims involved.'

As the farmer throws his head back and laughs, Mr Carbstrong claimed that he didn't want the farmer out of a job.

'If you come down to the south west and you look at the communities there, the whole south west is riding on the cow's back and here you are trying to destroy it,' the man retorted.

Mr Carbstrong said he believed the cow was a victim and didn't have a choice in being slaughtered, prompting the men to go back and forth once again.

'You go down there and you tell me if you can see a bad looking cow. Those cows are in perfect, mint condition,' the farmer said.

'You could ruin our industry', the farmer said, to which the vegan activist replied, 'Well that's what we're trying to do'

The dairy farmer argued the cows on his NSW property were in 'perfect, mint condition,' and said the entire community in south-west NSW were 'riding on the cow's back'

'When they go into the slaughterhouse, they come out chopped up in pieces. They are victims,' the activist replies.

The farmer concludes his argument by telling the activist they don't live in a perfect world, but the activist is quick to call bluff on his excuse.

'We can say that about any form of animal abuse, we don't live in a perfect world, so it's ok to abuse animals for money,' Mr Carbstrong said.

The activist offers examples of other 'ethical ways of living' including plant-based milks, which the farmer openly grimaces at.

'We just love the bloody meat on our plate,' the man says as he walks away.

Mr Carbstrong told Daily Mail Australia the idea behind his animal rights activism was to make the public aware of the 'inherent immorality' of animal agriculture.

The activist said the dairy industry was responsible for some of the worst crimes against animals, including the sexual violation of stud bulls to collect semen.

'So yes, we as a movement seek to destroy morally bankrupt animal abuse industries like dairy,' Mr Carbstrong said.

'We encourage a boycott of their industries and hope to make way for more ethical alternatives that don’t involve the enslavement and killing of non-human animals.'

The controversial vegan activist recently set up a stall outside the Gold Coast Sea World in a bid to tempt patrons with cans of his 'sustainable dolphin meat'

Mr Carbstrong's latest antic, which was supposed to raise awareness of dolphin deaths in tuna nets, was quickly interrupted by security who asked the activist to leave

Earlier this month the self-proclaimed 'animal-defender' was kicked out of the Gold Coat Sea World after he handed out 'dolphin meat' samples to customers.

His latest stunt, which was supposed to raise awareness of dolphin deaths in tuna nets, was quickly interrupted by security who asked the activist to leave.

The outspoken vegan once compared artificial insemination of cattle to 'sexual abuse' on British breakfast television and has also gained media attention for his protests at 'slaughterhouses'.

He regularly uploads his notorious animal rights stunts on YouTube and boasts 162,000 followers on Instagram.
