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.

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.

    We hear constant diatribes against "terrorists" especially since after 9/11 (though some of that rhetoric started a long time ago.) But doesnt such a thing have a context? Also, should we not be asking WHY the terrorists do what they do? Thats something of which Dubya isnt capable--any more than he is of running a state or country.

    Dr. Chomsky does just that. He starts with admitting the severity of 9/11. Surely there are some Chomsky critics wholl say that he defends those responsible for 9/11. Nonsense. His underlying premise is that the event was perhaps the worst instant crime outside of war EVER. (He stresses later the word "instant." There are countless other examples of longer term and more devestating terrorist actions. The only example on which he elaborates is the US campaign that destroyed Nicaragua, perhaps beyond repair.)

    He attempts to define terrorism, that is something done against US, whoever "US" may be. His example of that "logic" is among the worst mass murderers in history, the Nazis. They werent terrorists. They were defending their charge from the terrorism of the partisans.

    A portion of his presentation that borders on humorous is that, even after a prima facie case that bin Laden was responsible for 9/11, all they had was a prima facie case. He declares that they could probably have done better without intelligence agencies! Whats more, what these agencies were looking for should have ben easy to find. After all, the CIA trained bin Laden and various other killers during the Soviets Afghanistan campain!

    Its almost hard not to go on here as this is such a valuable analysis. But Ill finish with Chomskys important act, of asking why 9/11 and similar acts occur. Conventional wisdom--even that proclaimed confidently by ostensibly left-leaning columnists, is that Al Quaeda and similar groups resent us because were just the height of liberty, democracy...you know, the type of stuff youd find in grade school American history texts. But the facts show particularly that there are US troops right by Islams holiest grounds. That encouraged me to consider how the US would have reacted if Soviet troops had encamped in, say, the Vatican, or Canterbury.

    This is an important presentation to get people to think beyond the "norm" which is hopelessly shallow and encourages more jingoist flag waving--and hatred from the rest of the world.

    I would strongly recommend getting all of Chomskys lectures on CD from AK press. Ill be the first to admit that theres a lot of simplistic rhetoric and general idiocy on the American Left (such as it is) but Chomsky is the antidode for that. You cannot seriously discuss American history, politics, or foreign affairs without coming to terms with Chomsky. The man is the modern Socrates the soft-spoken gadfly that the State has tried to silence.

    TNWoT is a discussion about the nature and uses of "terrorism" both State-sponsored and otherwise. Really, pick up a used copy and listen to it with a ctitical and open mind. It may be the best $8.00 you ever spend.

    Against all odds and in this time of Neocons controlling every channel of news, Dr. Chomsky puts things in perspective the way they really are. Of course this is not for the average Fox viewer whose understanding of the world is limited to how the current U.S. administration wants people to think, so if you have no problems with the Neocons, youd have a hard time believing the content. It does require the reader/listener to be objective and familiar with the foreign policies of the U.S. government in the past 50 years. Thank you Dr. Chomsky.

    War Crimes & Imperial Fantasies

    Album Description


    For more than a half-century, the United States and its leaders have been pursuing a grand imperial strategy with the aim of dominating and controlling international politics. Our elected leaders have been willing to follow the dream of dominance regardless of the cost. In War Crimes & Imperial Fantasies, Noam Chomsky talks to Alternative Radios David Barsamian in Chomskys MIT office about the history of the United States perusal of imperialism and the crimes against humanity committed along the way.

    Is George W. Bush and international criminal and is his war in Iraq an egregious criminal act? In this thorough, in-depth two-disc interview, Noam Chomsky (commonly referred to as "the conscience of the American people") carefully places Bush into a historical perspective, explaining Bushs actions in relation to past U.S. presidents and how the war in Iraq is in blatant disregard of the findings of the Nuremberg Tribunal. In this exposing interview, Chomsky recounts Americas history of aggressive war, war crimes and murder while placing George Bushs Iraq invasion and occupancy into context. Just in time for Election Day, War Crimes & Imperial Fantasies is an exercise in American honesty and objective, factual criticism.

    As with all of chomskys work (books, cds, videos) everything you hear from him makes you so mad, but its nothing that should surprise you. Almost all of this stuff can be backed up with credible sources. Simply do a bit of research. The only bummer about this is now theres not much we can do about W and Co., but hope that we all can get more involved and bring about change.

    This is the kind of concise brilliance you can expect from Chomsky on the topic of propaganda:

    In Manufacturing Consent, co-authored with Edward Herman, Chomsky proposed a model of the mass media that moulds this consent with bias and omission. "Propaganda is to democracy what violence is to totalitarianism," they wrote. While some see the "propaganda model" as reducing everyone to dupes or liars, others have dismissed it as conspiracy theory. "Its exactly the opposite - its free-market theory," says Chomsky. "The media are major corporations. They sell a product (readers or viewers) to a market (advertisers). If a Martian were looking at this system, what would he expect? That the media product would be shaped by the perspectives and interests of the sellers and buyers and the external conditions (the state). Youd expect no interaction at all. Its no more a conspiracy than that General Motors tries to make a profit."

    Moral Relativism: Big Ideas/Small Books

    Moral Relativism: Big Ideas/Small Books

    Product Description


    Moral relativism attracts and repels. What is defensible in it and what is to be rejected? Do we as human beings have no shared standards by which we can understand one another? Can we abstain from judging one anothers practices? Do we truly have divergent views about what constitutes good and evil, virtue and vice, harm and welfare, dignity and humiliation, or is there some underlying commonality that trumps it all?

    These questions turn up everywhere, from Montaignes essay on cannibals, to the UN Declaration of Human Rights, to the debate over female genital mutilation. They become ever more urgent with the growth of mass immigration, the rise of religious extremism, the challenges of Islamist terrorism, the rise of identity politics, and the resentment at colonialism and the massive disparities of wealth and power between North and South. Are human rights and humanitarian interventions just the latest form of cultural imperialism? By what right do we judge particular practices as barbaric? Who are the real barbarians?

    In this provocative new book, the distinguished social theorist Steven Lukes takes an incisive and enlightening look at these and other challenging questions and considers the very foundations of what we believe, why we believe it, and whether there is a profound discord between "us" and "them."

    Customer ReviewsInterviews with an intellectual bully
    Rating Point :1 Helpful Point :7
    As a book in philosophy, this work fails. Kreeft presents unoriginal arguments in a largely incoherent fashion and consistently refuses to examine their flaws. To compound these errors, he relies heavily on equivocation, straw men, and guilt by association, among other fallacies. In fact, he doesnt even make the trivial effort it would require to ensure a fair representation of his opponents view: the voice of relativism is, from the start, the villain of the book. Relativists (and philosophers in general who have respect for their craft) should be offended by this books philosophical content.

    However, relativists should also be worried. While this book utterly fails as a philosophical treatise, it succeeds admirably as propaganda. Untrained readers will surely accept his constant claims that the "debates" represent unbiased philosophy. From there, theyll readily accept that relativism will be the downfall of mankind. If anybody doubts its effectiveness, simply read through the other reviews. For this reason, I encourage relativists to take this book seriously and review its arguments online, for free (and with considerably less irritating one-sided banter) at ...

    To be sure, if youre interested in this debate, youll hear these arguments again and again. In that way alone does Kreeft perform a public service by printing this drivel: there is no better way for a budding relativist to develop a strong foundation for his belief than to read these arguments and tear them apart.
    Mission(ary) Not Accomplished
    Rating Point :1 Helpful Point :20
    What Kreeft puts in the mouth of his opponent as "proofs" of the truth of relativism are so weak and at times sophomoric that Kreefts supposed refutation of them is irrelevant to the core of the relativist challenge, which is that no one can provide objective support for a claim to have an absolute foundation for moral values. Kreeft doesnt even acknowledge this central issue.

    Heres an example of how Kreeft, who claims his book offers "respectable logical arguments" from a "clear and very intelligent" viewpoint, in fact abuses language and logic. To defend the idea that changing situations "change how you should apply the rules, but they dont change the rules" he gives the example of lying to a Nazi searching for hidden Jews: "The Nazis had no right to know that truth" so it wasnt wrong to "deceive" them. "Lying is always wrong, and that wasnt wrong, so that wasnt a lie." To safeguard the absoluteness of the rule that says "Lying is always wrong," Kreeft redefines "lying" from "the speaking of a falsehood" to "the speaking of a falsehood when its not permissible to do so," and so the rule becomes "The speaking of a falsehood when it is not permissible to do so is wrong." Besides the irony in a professed absolutist ignoring the common meaning of a word to suit his purpose-and in particular redefining "lie" in defense of a belief in absolute truth-this raises the problem of how were to know, by objective standards, when "speaking a falsehood" is permissible and therefore not lying, otherwise this rule is wholly vacuous. If his semantic juggling is to be of any use, Kreeft needs to prove his claim to have such standards, a claim implicit throughout the book, and he fails to.

    Kreefts argument in favor of absolutism rests primarily on what he calls the data of moral experience, which comes down to the claim that "Conscience immediately detects real right and wrong, just as your senses immediately detect real colors and shapes ... This shows that absolutism is scientific." Actually, what this shows is that Kreeft believes his conscience is absolutely infallible because he believes God made it so, and although he doesnt tell us how he knows this is true, presumably he believes it is because the tradition he believes in told him it is, and he believes that tradition is true because his infallible conscience tells him so. And round and round, with nothing on which to rest this self-reinforcing circle of certainty. A fuller discussion can be found elsewhere (pkoplin.blogspot.com).

    Kreeft also throws in quite a bit of invective against people and principles he disagrees with, but he never addresses the following question: What are your objective, universal, and timeless reasons for claiming that your foundation for absolute values is true? The assertion that God came down to Abraham with the "real religion" (with the implication that Kreeft and his fellow Catholics have an absolute understanding of exactly what moral rules follow from this) isnt good enough, and in fact, taken in conjunction with the rest of Kreefts performance, raises the question of just what qualifications are required to teach philosophy at Boston College.

    Words cant describe how much this book has impacted my life. I knew the recent election of Barack Obama had put such a drain on my life with all the reading I did on him and finding out how much a downward spiral the US, as well as the world, was in. Im not a tinfoil hat type of guy there are signs everywhere. Just open your eyes and minds and you will see them.

    As a 4th year college fraternity guy, I was in the stronghold of moral deviance and liberalism a member of a typical illicit drug using, tripping-over-condoms-every-few-steps, lying, cheating, stealing from your own brothers rooms type of frat and also a destructively liberal institution where kids are brainwashed day in day out with what the professor wants- university. Everyone on campus is a Democrat, I was raised Democrat, and Jewish, it just made sense to follow the crowd, right? I never did that though. I always questioned things of argumentum ad populi, and seeked the truth in what was actually going on. I always set my own path, and when I would try to tell people the light I have found in the fallacy of moral relativism and how wrong it is, people would just shrug their shoulders or blow me off.

    Moral relativism is the source of all our societal problems today, hand in hand with atheism and political corectness.

    I was the posterchild of moral deviance at one point of my college career. But I found the light, and I discovered what was the cause of all this wrong. And Im changing my ways, going to the Church, and doing incredibly better now.

    Read this book, and I pray and hope you receive the same meaning and feeling I did from this book (there are a few other good books on moral relativism too, that could accomplish the same thing). The dialogue of this book and humorous value helped me get through some of the history and tedious parts, but I loved every bit.

    Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :4

    Kreeft, an academic with a reputation for orthodoxy and narrow Catholic conservatism, does a wonderful job in presenting a topic of great timely interest in a relatively (no pun intended) light-hearted way. I must say that I was thoroughly impressed by this work and would recommend it to anyone who finds his or herself on either side of the figurative fence created by todays culture and its precarious - and sometimes adversarial - engagement of religious absolutism.

    Religious absolutism has gained, as Kreeft notes through the interviews, a rather polemical stigma in recent history. Closely tied to fundamental trends in the minds of many, absolutism is neither fundamental (in a pejorative sense) nor simplistic (in the idiotic sense). Kreeft does a fine job articulating that and helps to bring a refulgent tone to a formidable position.

    Kreeft structures his book around a series of interviews with a black moral relativist and activist, Libby, and a Muslim absolutionist and professor, Isa. The logic is solid and the interviews are entertaining. A must-read for anyone with philosophical or religious interests.

Organized in a four-part format, the book includes current cultural issues; examines ethical codes, problems, and domains; offers perspective on the latest legislation; and discusses issues of professional identity. Three chapters devoted to case studies add context and illustrate the complexities inherent in marriage and family therapy. One of these "casebook" chapters addresses ethical issues (Chapter 7), one deals with legal issues (Chapter 10) and one looks at professional issues (Chapter 12).In the fourth edition, emphasis is retained for classic ethical, legal, and professional concerns arming readers with more knowledge about: the personal, professional, and institutional layers of values affecting marriage and family therapists; managed mental health care; culturally responsive marriage and family therapy; the impact and use of technology in marriage and family therapy; and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and its influence on marriage and family therapy practice.

    Studio: Rutgers University Press
    With the completion of the sequencing of the human genome in 2001, the debate over the existence of a biological basis for race has been revived. In "Revisiting Race in a Genomic Age", interdisciplinary scholars join forces to examine the new social, political, and ethical concerns that are attached to how we think about emerging technologies and their impact on current conceptions of race and identity.Essays explore a range of topics that include drug development and the production of race-based therapeutics, the ways in which genetics could contribute to future health disparities, the social implications of ancestry mapping, and the impact of emerging race and genetics research on public policy and the media.As genetic research expands its reach, this volume takes an important step toward creating a useful interdisciplinary dialogue about its implications.

    Studio: Dana Press
    Where is the line between instinct and free will in humans? How far can technology and medicine go to manipulate the brain? With every new discovery about the human mind, more and more questions emerge about the boundaries of consciousness, responsibility, and how far neuroscience research can go. The fledgling field of neuroethics has sought answers to these questions since the first formal neuroethics conference was held in 2002. This groundbreaking volume collects the expert and authoritative writings published since then that have laid the groundwork for this rapidly expanding debate. Defining Right and Wrong in Brain Science traverses the breadth of neuroethics, exploring six broad areasincluding free will, moral responsibility, and legal responsibility; psychopharmacology; and brain injury and brain deathin thirty provocative articles. The scientific and ethical consequences of neuroscience research and technology are plumbed by leading thinkers and scientists, from Antonio Damasios The Neural Basics of Social Behavior: Ethical Implications to Monitoring and Manipulating Brain Function by Martha J. Farah and Paul Root Wolpe. These and other in-depth chapters articulate the thought-provoking questions that emerge with every new scientific discovery and propose solutions that mediate between the freedom of scientific endeavor and the boundaries of ethical responsibility. As science races toward a future that is marked by startling new possibilities for our bodies and minds, Defining Right and Wrong in Brain Science is the definitive assessment of the ethical criteria guiding neuroscientists today.

    Customer ReviewsA good book for review
    Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :0
    This book was very helpful for reviewing for the certification exam. What I didnt like about it is that there were no rationales given and only the correct answer was given. The real test is multiple choice therefore I think that book should be too.
    Not the review I expected
    Rating Point :1 Helpful Point :3
    I bougth this book, hoping to review for the exam by doing test questions and getting the hang of the exam. However, this book did not prove helpful at all. The questions had detailed answers but it did not give typical senerios or common use medicical practice. To take the boards exam you need practice practice practice with questions not just reading questions.
    I would not recommend this product.
    Not what I thought it was.
    Rating Point :2 Helpful Point :6
    While there is a lot of good information in this book, it leads one to believe that it is made up of thousands of question/answer type pages. While it does offer the question, and then the answer, it is not in a test format. There is no multiple choice, it is just the question, followed by the answer. Not a great study tool for a test when professional test organizers suggest that the best way to study is to do many multiple choice test questions which is the format for the test.
    EXCELLENT

    IT HAS ALL THE INFORMATION THAT I NEEDED, AN EXCELLENT RESOURCE OF INFORMATION, IM SO GLAD THAT I ORDERED IT. THANK YOU
    You just memorize a bunch of facts
    Rating Point :2 Helpful Point :0
    Although this book is filled with useful information, it only provides questions and precise answers. When one is studying for the boards, it is important to exercise critical thinking skills and decision-making processes. Because this book only gives answers and questions, the reader has no other recourse than to memorize these facts without understanding the basis of why the answer is what it is.

    This collection of essays edited by Allan Hunt Badiner shows us how to look deeply into the items we consume every day—not only food, but clothes, media, ideas, and images. Right Consumption suggests a reorientation for consumers from passive purchasers, who willingly and uncritically accept advertising messages for toxic products, to active, mindful, and responsible citizens who see the dynamic connection between their purchases and their values. This results in effects compatible with healthy and enduring human, animal, and plant life. Contributors include Thich Nhat Hanh, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Judith Simmer-Brown, Fritjof Capra, Joan Halifax Roshi, Joanna Macy, Riane Eisler, and Paul Hawken.
