We thought it would be interesting to hear from several swine producers pertaining to: What’s a typical day like, setting goals, motivation, etc. Read their stories and hear about “A Day in the Life”. RUSSIA: Valentina Buss, Head Technologist at Commodities Pig Farm in the Kormilovsky district of Russia. “The farm consists of 10,000 sows, divided into 5 areas; 2 areas are in the Altai region and 3 areas are in Omsk region. Valentina has been in the swine industry for 18 years. Each day, she focuses on questions concerning vital activities in the barns. “When looking precisely at visits to the barns, I mainly pay attention to the general appear- ance of the section/premises: sanitary condition, animal health, availability and quality of fodder, livestock activity, a healthy glitter in the eyes, and the work of operators and their interest in it. My ultimate goal at the end of the day is to smoothly accomplish all of the tasks assigned with the highest efficiency.” One thing that motivates Valentina every day is obtain- ing information from the barns about the current quality of a particular group of animals and furthering them along the process of production. She enjoys being able to devel- op monthly and annual work plans for the operation and achievement of their operations’ projected indicators within 100 - 105%. She says it keeps the job interesting and gives her something to work towards. “Our team of specialists, Valentina Buss with the help of the PigCHAMP program, have achieved and sustained high indicators of productivity, both for the sows and for the herd as a whole.

  • CONSUMING ANIMALS AS an EDUCATIONAL ACT Dissertation
    CONSUMING ANIMALS AS AN EDUCATIONAL ACT Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Bradley D. Rowe, B.A., M.S., M.A. Graduate Program in Education The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Bryan Warnick, Chair Dr. Ann Allen Dr. Antoinette Errante Dr. Philip Smith Copyright By Bradley D. Rowe 2012 Abstract The main purpose of this dissertation is to demonstrate that consuming animals is an educational act that warrants sustained attention. The main question I address is: What does the consumption of animals have to do with the life of the educated person? I argue that we should learn more about the lives—which is to say, the deprivation, torment, and death—of the animals we eat. This sort of learning requires a fresh way to think about not only education, but also food, eating, and animals. I aim to illuminate the extent to which we are implicated in systems of immense suffering, and at the same time, provoke us to grow by questioning deeply-entrenched habit of consuming animals. This dissertation is a theoretical exploration that may or may not lead to dietary change, but that does, I believe, hold potential to change the way we think and act in the world. In Chapter 1, I lay out the reasons why consuming animals is a rich subject for educational philosophy. Chapter 2 is a brief overview of the animal ethics literature to analyze the moral arguments for bringing nonhuman beings into the realm of human moral consideration.

  • Ham and Cheese Stuffed Pork Chops
    Welcome to Molly’s Kitchen! This is my first time writing and publishing anything I’ve made (in any kind of professional format that is) and I’m really excited to have this opportunity! Why did I start with pork chops? Mostly convenience to be honest. When I’m in the kitchen, I follow the ‘waste not, want not” model and try to use what I have to make fun things. It’s easier being in a restaurant kitchen but all of these recipes are things you can do at home! I had recently made my own canadian bacon and started thinking, what if I take a raw pork loin, cut it into pork chops, and stuff it with cheese and ham? So that’s just what i did! First and foremost, just because I do things completely from scratch does not mean that you have to and you shouldn’t feel bad about it in the least. So to start, cut two pork chops about 1 and a half inches thick. You can go to your local butcher or grocery store and have them cut them for you, or find some thicker ones in the meat aisle. Next, cut a slice in the pork chops about halfway in. Place the cheese on top of the ham and roll it up. From there, stuff it into the pork chop as well as you can so none is hanging out of the sides. Season both sides of the pork chop with salt and pepper. In a large sauce pan or cast iron skillet, you’ll brown the pork chops on both sides and then throw them in the oven! While the chops cook, you can make your sauce.

  • In the “Side Room” Eating with the Maynards and the Burgesses
    7 In the “Side Room” Eating with the Maynards and the Burgesses We have our own way with food. We’ve called our way for centuries and incorporated our wondrous way with food and eating into our daily lives. We have rocked generations of babies to sleep crooning “Shortenin’ Bread,” laughed to the comedy of “Pigmeat” Markham and “Butterbeans” and Su- sie, and danced the cakewalk, tapped our feet to the rhythms of “Jelly Roll” Morton, shimmied with wild abandon to gutbucket music in juke joints or sat down with friends and “chewed the fat.” We’ve had the blues over the “Kitchen Man,” longed to be loved like “Lilac Wine,” and celebrated with “A Pigfoot and a Bottle of Beer.” Harris 1995:17 We know from John Maynard’s 1876 probate inventory that the family took their meals in theproof “side room.” This was the room adjacent to the parlor, but unlike the parlor it was not accessed by the front door of the house, though it did contain a door leading to the backyard. In this “side room” the furnishings continued to be quite elegant with a “Mahogany Bookcase,” “Marble Top Stand,” and a “Mahogany Table with Leaf.” How- ever, there was also a “Common” Settee and six chairs valued together at just $2.00, “1 small table” valued at just $.25, and the “stove with coal hood” was valued at $3.00, as compared to the $5.00 stove listed in the parlor. Indeed, when adding up the value of the objects in each of the rooms, the Maynards invested at least $61.50 in their “front room” or par- lor furnishings and just $11.75 in those for this “side room” (Anne Arundel County Inventories 1876:553–54).

  • A Discourse Analysis of Pigs in Motion Pictures
    Cinematic “Pigness”: A Discourse Analysis of Pigs in Motion Pictures By Mark von Schlemmer Submitted to the graduate degree program in Film and Media Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Catherine Preston ____________________________ Chairperson Chuck Berg ______________________________ Tamara Falicov ______________________________ Kevin Willmott ______________________________ Barbara Barnett ______________________________ Date defended: July 2, 2010 Acceptance Page This Dissertation Committee for Mark von Schlemmer certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Cinematic “Pigness”: A Discourse Analysis of Pigs in Motion Pictures Catherine Preston ____________________________ Chairperson Chuck Berg ______________________________ Tamara Falicov ______________________________ Kevin Willmott ______________________________ Barbara Barnett ______________________________ Date Approved: July 28, 2010 ii Abstract The representations of “others” in film have been contentious since filmmaking began. Fraught with misrepresentations, cinema has been held responsible, and occasionally credited, for influencing cultural practices and helping to shape discourses in American society. This study suggests that the media representations of nonhuman animals also have a profound effect on how Americans think about animals and that these representations warrant examination to uncover the naturalized messages and assumptions that are presented about animals. Explored here are the extent to which these images depict animal-ness – moments of authentic nonhuman behavior or experience that are not simply a reflection of humanity but have meaning for the animals themselves. This study highlights the case of “food animals” – specifically pigs. The disjunction between how we represent them – the narratological roles they fill in animal films – and the way that actual pigs are used in American society is vast and disturbing.
