Mexico’s Factory Farms are an Environmental Nightmare

Animal Equality in Mexico released a new report with alarming figures on the impact that animal farming has on the environment. The report follows the 2020 release of the short documentary, Enemy of the Planet, which was produced using drones that flew over two industrial pig farms in Jalisco, Mexico, and showed visible ecological damage due to the farms’ operation. Faced with overwhelming and shocking evidence, we reported 44 farms to the authorities for acts and omissions that are causing ecological imbalances and damage to the environment.
