The number one magazine for rockers has created an educational and enlightening piece that should persuade music fans to rock every aisle but the meat one.
Rolling Stone‘s “In the belly of the beast” discusses many of the negative consequences of large-scale farming, both animal and environment.
From an inside look behind the undercover investigations of activists to an inside look at how animals live their short lives on these farms, the article thoroughly covers the animal rights scene.
A few facts for the environmentalists vegetarians to carry with them to the record store:
- Amount of factory farm animal waste generated in the U.S. each year: 500 million tons
- Number of land acres devoted to animal production: 528 million
- Distance noxious-smelling airborne ammonia – a toxic gas released by decomposing animal waste – can travel before hitting soil or water (causing fish kills): Up to 300 miles
- Miles of river across 22 U.S. states reporting polluted waterways caused by farm-animal excrement: 35,000
