Praise for Animal Factory
“Thanks to Kirby’s extraordinary journalism, we have the most relatable, irrefutable, and unforgettable testimony yet to the hazards of industrial animal farming.”
— Booklist“Kirby combines the narrative urgency of The Jungle with the investigative reporting of Fast Food Nation. Like Sinclair’s and Schlosser’s work, it has the potential to change the collective American mind about contemporary food issues.”
— National Public Radio, Books We Like“The writing is brilliant, the people profiled are inspirational in their activism, and the topic is one that so many people remain blissfully ignorant of. Everyone would benefit from reading this book.”
