    The Sexual Politics of Meat by Carol J. Adams

    THE SEXUAL POLITICS OF MEAT A FEMINISTVEGETARIAN CRITICAL THEORY Praise for The Sexual Politics of Meat and Carol J. Adams “A clearheaded scholar joins the ideas of two movements—vegetari- anism and feminism—and turns them into a single coherent and moral theory. Her argument is rational and persuasive. New ground—whole acres of it—is broken by Adams.” —Colman McCarthy, Washington Post Book World “Th e Sexual Politics of Meat examines the historical, gender, race, and class implications of meat culture, and makes the links between the prac tice of butchering/eating animals and the maintenance of male domi nance. Read this powerful new book and you may well become a vegetarian.” —Ms. “Adams’s work will almost surely become a ‘bible’ for feminist and pro gressive animal rights activists. Depiction of animal exploita- tion as one manifestation of a brutal patriarchal culture has been explored in two [of her] books, Th e Sexual Politics of Meat and Neither Man nor Beast: Feminism and the Defense of Animals. Adams argues that factory farming is part of a whole culture of oppression and insti- tutionalized violence. Th e treatment of animals as objects is parallel to and associated with patriarchal society’s objectifi cation of women, blacks, and other minorities in order to routinely exploit them. Adams excels in constructing unexpected juxtapositions by using the language of one kind of relationship to illuminate another. Employing poetic rather than rhetorical techniques, Adams makes powerful connec- tions that encourage readers to draw their own conclusions.” —Choice “A dynamic contribution toward creating a feminist/animal rights theory.” —Animals’ Agenda “A cohesive, passionate case linking meat-eating to the oppression of animals and women .

    THE TRANSFORMATION OF ANIMALS INTO FOOD Many people believe that animals raised for food must be treated well because sick or dead animals would be of no use to agribusiness. This is not true. INDUSTRIALIZED CRUELTY: FACTORY FARMING The competition to produce inexpensive meat, eggs, and dairy products has led animal agribusiness to treat animals as objects and commodities. The worldwide trend is to replace small family farms with “factory farms”—large warehouses where animals are confined in crowded cages or pens or in restrictive stalls. “U.S. society is extremely naive about the nature of agricultural production. “[I]f the public knew more about the way in which agricultural and animal production infringes on animal welfare, the outcry would be louder.” BERNARD E. ROLLIN, PhD Farm Animal Welfare, Iowa State University Press, 2003 Hens in crowded cages suffer severe feather loss. Bernard Rollin, PhD, explains that it is “more economically efficient to put a greater number of birds into each cage, accepting lower productivity per bird but greater productivity per cage… individual animals may ‘produce,’ for example gain weight, in part because they are immobile, yet suffer because of the inability to move.… Chickens are cheap, cages are expensive.” 1 In a November 1993 article in favor of reducing space from 8 to 6 square feet per pig, industry journal National Hog 2 Farmer advised, “Crowding pigs pays.” Inside a broiler house. Birds Virtually all U.S. birds raised for food are factory farmed. 2 Inside the densely populated buildings, enormous amounts of waste accumulate. The result- ing ammonia levels commonly cause painful burns to the birds’ skin, eyes, and respiratory tracts.

    Even If You Like Meat Leaflet

    Oppose the Cruelties of Factory Farming Thank you for accepting this booklet. As you read on, please bear in mind that opposing the cruelties of factory farming is not an all-or-nothing proposition: By simply eating less meat, you can help prevent farmed animals from suffering. “When we picture a farm, we picture scenes from Old MacDonald and Charlotte’s Web, not warehouses with , chickens.… When we look, it’s shocking. Our rural idylls have been transformed into stinking factories.” The Los Angeles Times “The High Price of Cheap Food,” 1/21/04 Above: The average breeding sow spends most of her life in a two-foot-wide stall, without enough room to turn around;1 others (below) live in crowded pens. Today’s egg-laying hens are warehoused inside battery cages. Most U.S. livestock production has shifted from small family farms to factory farms— huge ware houses where the animals are confined in crowded cages or pens or in restrictive stalls. Due to consumer demand for inexpensive meat, eggs, and dairy, these animals are treated as mere objects rather than individuals who can suffer. Hidden from public view, the cruelty that occurs on factory farms is easy to ignore. But more and more people are becoming aware of how farmed animals are treated 2 and deciding that it’s too cruel to support. “In my opinion, if most urban meat eaters were to visit an industrial broiler house, to see how the birds are raised, and could see the birds being ‘harvested’ and then being ‘processed’ in a poultry processing plant, they would not be impressed and some, perhaps many of them would swear off eating chicken and perhaps all meat.

TURNING ANIMALS INTO FOOD Many people believe (and hope) that animals raised for food for humans must be very well treated because sick, diseased or dead animals would be of no use to agribusiness. But this is not true. FACTORY FARMING= INDUSTRIALISED CRUELTY The pressure to produce inexpensive beef, chicken, pork, veal, fish, eggs, milk and dairy products has led modern farming to treat animals as mere commodities or machines. There is a trend worldwide to replace small family farms with intensive, industrialised, factory farms. The philosophy of mass production is what lies behind it all. “...if the public knew more about the way in which agricultural and animal production infringes on animal welfare, the outcry would be louder.” BERNARD E. ROLLIN, PhD Farm Animal Welfare, Iowa State University Press, 1995. Bernard Rollin is author of more than 150 papers and 10 books on ethics and animal science. Hens in crowded cages suffer severe feather loss. “The life of an animal in a factory farm is characterised by acute deprivation, stress, and disease. Hundreds of millions of animals are forced to live in cages just barely larger than their own bodies. While one species may be caged alone without any social contact, another species may be crowded so tightly together that they fall prey to stress-induced cannibalism… the victims of factory farms exist in a relentless state of distress.” Humane Farming Association: 2 The Dangers of Factory Farming Inside a broiler house.
