Slaughterhouse: The Shocking Story Of Greed, Neglect, And Inhumane Treatment Inside The U.S. Meat Industry

Slaughterhouse: The Shocking Story of Greed, Neglect, and Inhumane Treatment Inside the U.S. Meat Industry

Product Description


With a New Afterword by the Author

Slaughterhouse is the first book of its kind to explore the impact that unprecedented changes in the meatpacking industry over the last twenty-five yearsparticularly industry consolidation, increased line speeds, and deregulationhave had on workers, animals, and consumers. It is also the first time ever that workers have spoken publicly about whats really taking place behind the closed doors of Americas slaughterhouses.

In this new paperback edition, author Gail A. Eisnitz brings the story up to date since the books original publication. She describes the ongoing efforts by the Humane Farming Association to improve conditions in the meatpacking industry, media exposs that have prompted reforms resulting in multimillion dollar appropriations by Congress to try to enforce federal inspection laws, and a favorable decision by the Supreme Court to block construction of what was slated to be one of the largest hog factory farms in the country. Nonetheless, Eisnitz makes it clear that abuses continue and much work still needs to be done.

this book made me cry. read it, if you have the courage. youll never see farm animals in the same way or eat meat without thinking of the hell these poor creatures endure.

A must read for animal lovers of any kind
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :3
I had this book for about six months before I got up the nerve to read it. I have always been a meat-eater and was afraid that if I read the book I would have to give it up. Ive read the book and havent touched meat since. In my case ignorance wasnt bliss. Ignorance was just plain stupidity.

Ive been around animals of all types all of my life and after reading this book I know I can never eat another piece of meat knowing that an animal suffered just so I could selfishly have a steak.

Even if you dont read this because youre an animal lover, read it because you love yourself and your family enough not to feed them the filth and disease that comes out of the meat factories. If you can look past the sad eyes of the cow that is being skinned alive, then if nothing else just stop a moment to think about the things that have come into contact with the meat youre eating. This book describes the filth and disease that make it all the way to that meat on your plate. Im a Registered Dietitian and I had learned to trust the USDA. If there was a USDA certification on my meat label I was safe. My "trusted" USDA now recommends that I cook the meat that I buy to a safe temperature to kill everything that they missed. Why else do you think you cant buy a rare hamburger anymore? Its because its dirty and diseased and it has to be practically burnt to remove risk of that filth/disease from the factors being passed on to the consumer.

Please have the courage to read this book.
every person should know what they are eating!!!

Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :1
This book was written over ten years ago, population then, and meat consumption was not as high as it is today. Imagine how the profiteers behind the meat market have to rush these animals through the massacre to provide for the needs of a ever hungrier and misinformed population we have now.

This book was the last drop into a series of books that made me give up eating meat entirely. No wonder they never allowed it on that 60 minutes show, but after all these years the truth is coming out, slowly but surely.

All that is told by Gail is something that will mark you. Read it, learn it, change your ways.

    Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :2
    Say what you will about Ingrid Newkirk, she put animal rights activism on the map. Filmmaker Matthew Galkin was granted unprecedented access to this notoriously private co-founder of PETA, giving us glimpses of how she and her intrepid colleagues execute many of their controversial tactics, including naked demonstrations and a protest against designer Jean-Paul Gaultier inside his fur-filled Paris boutique. We also hear from PETAs detractors, who criticize their efforts as stunts or simply label them terrorists. Not for the faint of heart, the documentary is punctuated by gruesome undercover footage obtained inside research labs and slaughterhouses one scene of an animal skinned alive is particularly upsetting. These horrific images illustrate why PETA uses video to shock the public from complacency. An engrossing if not terribly penetrating study, "I Am an Animal" is a candid portrait of an organization that has become for many people the face of animal advocacy.

    Customer ReviewsThe Bush Crime Family involved in drugs? Say it isnt so!
    Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :18
    The foreward, written by Michael Levine, encourages the reader to cancel all appointments for the next several hours as the reader will not be able to put this book down. Levine wasnt kidding. This book is about the life of Cele Castillo. It begins with Celes childhood under the rule of a military father. Cele ends up being drafted for the Vietnam war and his experiences in Vietnam are so amazingly vivid that its impossible to put this book down. The drug use in Vietnam was so rampant that this is where Cele learns that narcotics were much more of a threat to America than Communism as he vows to fight the illegal drug industry if he ever makes it out of Vietnam in one piece. Cele survives the jungle, the snipers, and even his first helicopter crash. Hes hired by the DEA and assigned to work in New York. He works hard, risking his life many times to bust drug dealers and ends up working in Central America. As if a second helicopter crash and being the guy responsible for upsetting powerful drug lords werent risky enough, Cele stumbles upon the CIA and Oliver Norths involvement in the illegal drug industry & illegal gun running during the Iran-Contra scandal, which also involved Bush Sr. & the Reagan administration. North & his crew were selling over-priced weapons to Iran as well as selling tons of cocaine to American cities as they used all of those profits to buy massive amount of weapons that they flew in to the Contras. As the cash and weapons were flown into the Contras, cocaine was brought back to America under the protection of the US military and CIA. The airplanes & airplane hangars were all CIA and NSA owned, and the pilots (Barry Seal & others) were contracted by the CIA. The corruption and involvement of our own CIA in the illegal drug industry wasnt enough to make Cele give up, he kept fighting to make a dent in the illegal drug industry. He was warned to stay away from the operations of Oliver North and the CIA but he pressed on anyway. Thats when his career suffered as an internal investigation was launched against him. As if death threats and surviving a plane crash (his 3rd crash) werent enough, trumped-up charges were used against him to end his career at the DEA. Cele risked his life countless times, got tons of cocaine off the streets of America & traded his marriage for dedication to his career. Senator John Kerrys investigation went nowhere, Bush Sr. pardoned Norths crew as they only got a slap on the wrist (probation) while the DEA rewarded Cele by ending his career.

    I live in El Salvador and know many of the people involved. Down here this is all highly common knowledge to the point that it is not even a conspiracy. I have personally spoken with many of the people who were on the side of the CIA and contras, and who benefitted from this, who sit and laugh about it over beers and talk about how gullible Americans are for believing that only foreign governments are corrupt. I also am friends with a CIA "consultant" during the war, an American ex-marine (this was before Blackwater made this sort of thing common) who was contracted to train the contras in the jungle. He was friends with Oliver North, and has photos of the two of them all over his house. He said that he personally escorted and helped pilot boatloads of crack and cocaine from Puerto Cabezas, Nicargua to Houston, TX and New Orleans, and the govt, coastguard, etc. was instructed to look the other way. This guy went to jail for Iran Contra for 2 years and was pardoned, and even though he fully admits to all of the activities and shenanigans, and took the fall for it, he thinks that Oliver North is a the greatest American we have. Yet even he concedes that Americans and the media are gullible idiots for everything that they got away with. Others have mentioned that there was no incentive becuase the US was funding the operation- this is BS- the whole reason for Iran Contra, as well as the drugs, ws because congress was cutting off funding and heavily restricting the funding that they did get. The guy who said otherwise on this board is either lying or has no idea what he is talking about. There are still a lot of spooks down in this part of the world, although its mellowed out since 9/11 since the govt. has other priorities...

    Rating Point :1 Helpful Point :0
    Castillo tells a great story, even if there isnt much truth to it. Yes, all guerilla groups inevitably get involved with drugs. Thats about where the truth ends. John Kerrys investigation went nowhere because there was no evidence, and he admitted that. The Los Angeles County Sheriffs Dept. also came up empty. So naturally it MUST be a dark conspiracy! Please. The contra leaders were adamant that their subordinates NOT raise money via illegal means. Besides, if the Contras HAD all of that drug money, they wouldnt have needed so much US funding. The cartels ended their association with contra armies by 1982. Bottom line: Castillos book is not about drugs its a shameful attempt to rewrite history in favor of Americas red enemies.
