Description

 							
  
  Published
2010
  
  Swine flu. Bird flu. Unusual concentrations of cancer and other diseases. Massive fish kills from
flesh-eating parasites. Recalls of meats, vegetables, and fruits because of deadly E-coli bacterial contamination. 
  
  Recent public health crises raise urgent questions about how our animal-derived food is raised and brought
to market. In Animal Factory, bestselling investigative journalist David Kirby exposes the powerful business and
political interests behind large-scale factory farms, and tracks the far-reaching fallout that contaminates our air,
land, water, and food. 
  
  In this thoroughly researched book, Kirby follows three families and communities
whose lives are utterly changed by immense neighboring animal farms. These farms (known as “Concentrated Animal
Feeding Operations,” or CAFOs), confine thousands of pigs, dairy cattle, and poultry in small spaces, often under
horrifying conditions, and generate enormous volumes of fecal and biological waste as well as other toxins. Weaving
science, politics, law, big business, and everyday life, Kirby accompanies these families in their struggles against
animal factories. A North Carolina fisherman takes on pig farms upstream to preserve his river, his family’s
life, and his home. A mother in a small Illinois town pushes back against an outsized dairy farm and its devastating
impact. And a Washington State grandmother becomes an unlikely activist when her home is invaded by foul odors and her
water supply is compromised by runoff from leaking lagoons of cattle waste. 
  
  Animal Factory is an
important book about our American food system gone terribly wrong---and the people who are fighting to restore
sustainable farming practices and save our limited natural resources. 
  
  From Publishers Weekly
  
  Following crusaders against large-scale factory farms, investigative journalist Kirby delves deep to uncover the
abysmal conditions of America's food and produce industry; Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations, or CAFOs, are
revealed to be the root cause of current health crises such as swine flu and massive recalls on grocery products. Kirby
presents the human side of big-business blunders and coverups. William Hughes keeps the prose engaging by shifting his
tone to underplayed yet believable characterizations. He presents the bulk of the material in a straightforward,
newsworthy tone capable of presenting the facts without editorializing. An eye-opening account of an escalating problem.

  From Booklist
  
  In factory farms, thousands of animals are confined and
rapidly fattened for slaughter, generating millions of gallons of animal waste, which is stored in open lagoons and
sprayed into the air. Kirby, author of the best-selling Evidence of Harm (2005), profiles three individuals who have
been subjected to the stench, mess, environmental contamination, and health risks of megafarms. Rick Dove, a Marine
Corps prosecutor, retired early to enjoy the Neuse River near his North Carolinian home but instead became a devoted
“riverkeeper” after witnessing massive fish kills caused by pig-factory waste. In beautiful Yakima Valley,
Washington, Helen Reddout and her husband joyfully tended their fruit orchards until a megadairy fouled their property,
inducing Helen to become a “warrior activist.” The same thing happened to farmer’s wife Karen Hudson
in Elmwood, Illinois. Stonewalling government agencies and evasive and hostile factory-farm owners and their corporate
overseers ensure that the trios’ battles for safe air and water have been protracted, complicated, and dangerous,
hence the magnitude of Kirby’s meticulously detailed yet propulsive chronicle. Thanks to Kirby’s
extraordinary journalism, we have the most relatable, irrefutable, and unforgettable testimony yet to the hazards of
industrial animal farming.--Donna Seaman
