Description
The Sep/Oct 1990 issue of PETA News features k.d. lang on the cover alongside Lulu the cow, marking her early and outspoken advocacy for animal rights. That same year, lang launched her Meat Stinks campaign in collaboration with PETA, encouraging fans to adopt a vegetarian lifestyle. Her activism sparked widespread discussion and controversy, particularly within the country music community, where some radio stations banned her music in response.
As one of the first major artists to use her platform for animal rights advocacy, lang became a defining voice in ethical eating and environmental awareness. This magazine issue serves as a rare collectible from a key moment in her activism, reflecting her commitment to using fame for meaningful change.
A rare collectible that stands as a testament to lang’s artistry, activism, and enduring fan connection.
