Rock musicians make a statement against animal cruelty
July 16, 11:45 AM

Tuesday night's concert at Mesa Amphitheater was the perfect venue to 
expose young people to the benefits of going vegan. Chicago's punk 
rock band, Rise Against, was on tour promoting their fifth studio 
album, Appeal to Reason. Fans of their music may or may not know that 
all four band members are avid supporters of animal rights and strict 
vegetarians (two are vegan.)

Last year, Rise Against was voted Best Animal-Friendly Band by PETA. 
The group says their "Ready to Fall" video (from the album, The 
Sufferer & The Witness) is the most important video they have ever 
made. It depicts images of factory farming, sport hunting and rodeos, 
as well as other environmental issues.

Jeff hands "Why Vegan?" leaflet to two concert-goers.
Through their music, Rise Against may be getting their animal-friendly 
message through to fans. Currently the band is speaking out against 
theannual Canadian seal slaughter. They even encouraged people to 
gather petition signatures to end the massacre, offering free concert 
tickets to whomever collected the most.

Although I never listened to their music before, I am now an instant 
fan. I leave you with a message from the band… "The four of us alone 
save 400 animals every single year, just by choosing not to eat them. 
We can't think of a better reason to go vegetarian—can you?"
