This was on my daughter's Christmas list, she read it and will no longer eat meat.
This book was required reading for my Vet Tech daughter. She found it to be an informative yet shattering read. Good price & fast delivery.
Her collection was brutal and disturbing. She concludes by saying that, despite her many set backs, she accepts that all she can do is tell her story and the stories she has collected. After reading the prologue, I was not sure how to approach Eisnitz's book. Towards the end of her story, she really cracks into the heart of the problem. Bravo. After each interview, I felt disgusted by my naive trust in the meat industry for the first 21 years of my life. The information is right in front of them, but they refuse to accept that their way of life is socially and environmentally distructive.
This book compelled this reader and refuse to accept the status quo. It jumps right into her story of collecting affidavits and interviews in an attempt to expose USDA's failure to uphold federal standards. Some may open their eyes but many will choose to ignore her. She develops an argument against the meat industry's current business standards and operations by conveying its negative social and environmental externalities not through statistics and scientific research but through human experience. She explains that too many people have turned a blind eye. Bravo. Encore.
I am not the only one. If I wanted to buy an Indonesian House Boy. Amazon dot com kills animals by supporting the fur industry.I liked the book, but am saddened that I bought it from a company that SELLS FUR. (No, it is not enough to claim that they're merely trying to "give the customer what they want even if it offends some people. And tell your friends. Amazon execs should understand that there are many more people out here who are offended at the butchering deaths of helpless animals for ridiculous VANITY, than there are people who would actually go to amazon to buy their FUR COATS. If I wanted to buy a nuclear weapon.
Some things are so reprehensible that society demands that they NOT sell them. I am sick and sad that I ever gave Amazon a single dime. Not good enough. I ask that others please reconsider buying any more products from these people until they stop selling fur, and stop sending out cookie-cutter form letters to those of us who give a damn about the lives of others. Would they say that if I wanted to buy heroin. Although, I'm sure that if they could, they would, so long as it was profitable).Take the profit out of death and join me in boycotting Amazon. There are hundreds of other sites that sell great books, often cheaper, that do not profit from the deaths of innocent animals.
Read the book, you will be shocked. This is a must read for anyone who eats meat, or who doesn't. This book was excellent. You may cry. It's a real eye opener on just how cruel, filthy, and terrible the meat industry is. It's very easy to turn a blind eye when you eat a great steak or some chicken wings, but the only reason to eat meat is your taste buds. You may give up meat. It's shocking, unadulterated, dirty truths that we ALL need to know.
