  • 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 .

  • Opening the Archives of the International Tracing Service (ITS) How Did It Happen? What Does It Mean?
    S: I. M. O. N. SHOAH: I NTERVENTION. M ETHODS. DOCUMENTATION. Paul A. Shapiro Opening the Archives of the International Tracing Service (ITS) How did it happen? What does it mean? Abstract The archives of the International Tracing Service in Bad Arolsen, Germany, contains over 50 million World War II era documents relating to the fates of over 17.5 million people. Using samples and case studies, Paul Shapiro, who led the campaign to open the archives, will pro- vide an insider’s view of the years-long effort to open the collections for research and discuss the importance of this recent event for Holocaust survivors, other victims of National Socialism, and scholars. Paul Shapiro is Director of the Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Before joining the Museum, he served in the Bureau of Edu- cational and Cultural Affairs at the United States Information Agency and Department of State, where he was responsible for the Fulbright Fellowship Program and other major inter- national exchange programs. Earlier, he was an Editor of the journal Problems of Commu- nism and Editor in Chief of the Journal of International Affairs. Mr. Shapiro also served as a consultant to the Board for International Broadcasting, Radio Free Europe-Radio Liberty, and the Justice Department’s Office of Special Investigations (OSI). I would like to thank the Vienna Wiesenthal Institute for Holocaust-Studies for inviting me to deliver this third Simon Wiesenthal Lecture. In the 1970s, Simon Wiesenthal and I collaborated, at long distance, in uncovering documentation that led to the removal of citizenship and deportation from the United States of the first fascist leader against whom the United States Justice Department took such action.

The “Babe” Vegetarians: Bioethics, Animal Minds and Moral Methodology Nathan Nobis Morehouse College [email protected] “The fact is that animals that don't seem to have a purpose really do have a purpose. The Bosses have to eat. It's probably the most noble purpose of all, when you come to think about it.” – Cat, “Babe” "The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men." – Alice Walker 1. Animal Ethics as Bioethics According to bioethicist Paul Thompson, “When Van Rensselaer Potter coined the term ‘bioethics’ in 1970, he intended for it to include subjects ranging from human to environmental health, including not only the familiar medical ethics questions . but also questions about humanity's place in the biosphere” (Thompson, 2004). These latter questions include ethical concerns about our use of animals: morally, should animals be on our plates? Should humans eat animals? The fields of animal and agricultural ethics address these questions.

  • “I Don't Like Meat to Look Like Animals”: How Consumer Behavior
    ABSTRACT “I Don’t Like Meat to Look Like Animals”: How Consumer Behavior Responds to Animal Rights Campaigns. By Michelle L. Blake. As the animal rights movement enters its fourth decade, it is clear that American attitudes have evolved. Polls show that people are increasingly intolerant of animal suffering and more aware of animal causes. However, their consumption of animals continues unabated and often appears to contradict public sentiment. Consumer habits also ignore numerous pressures to change, including global concerns about the meat industry’s negative consequences for the environment, animal welfare, and public health. Meanwhile, there are more calls to protect animals as science proves that they possess social, intellectual, and emotional capacities that humans have long thought were theirs alone. Although behavior has not kept pace with changing attitudes, it will become increasingly difficult for Americans to ignore the consequences of their consumption habits. Consumers are largely isolated from the moral implications of their choices by numerous mechanisms that allow them to dissociate their use of animals from the suffering of animals. The literature review portion of this thesis examines the psychological and cultural constructs that present unique challenges to animal rights as a social movement. From that contextual backdrop, this thesis then evaluates consumer response to three major campaigns conducted by HSUS and PETA between 1980 and the present. The campaigns are vegetarianism and factory farming, the anti-fur movement, and the campaign against cosmetics testing on animals. While consumer response has been mixed, there are other outcomes from those campaigns that signal broader cultural changes. Social-change literature suggests that practices will resist change until there is an adjustment in the paradigm that drives them.

    Interview with Paul Shapiro By OUR HEN HOUSE Published March 8, 2014 Following is a transcript of an interview with PAUL SHAPIRO conducted by JASMIN SINGER and MARIANN SULLIVAN of Our Hen House, for the Our Hen House podcast. The interview aired on Episode 217. JASMIN: Paul Shapiro, the vice president of farm animal protection for the Humane Society of the United States, has played an integral role in numerous successful legislative and corporate campaigns to improve the plight of farm animals. His work has helped enact farm animal protection laws in California, Arizona, Michigan, Maine, Colorado, Oregon, and Ohio. He founded Compassion Over Killing in 1995 and served as its campaign director until January 2005. While there, he worked as a farm animal cruelty investigator and led initiatives such as the successful effort to end the use of the misleading Animal Care Certified logo on battery cage egg cartons nationwide. Paul has been interviewed in hundreds of print, broadcast, and online news sources as an authority on farm animal welfare and animal advocacy. He has also published dozens of articles about animal welfare in publications ranging from daily newspapers to academic journals. Learn more at humanesociety.org. Welcome back to Our Hen House, Paul. PAUL: Thanks so much, Jasmin and Mariann. It is an honor to be back. JASMIN: It is just an honor to have you. We are so excited to talk to you again. MARIANN: Yeah. Paul, you’re one of our favorite people, and you always know exactly what’s going on. You have a firm finger on the pulse of what’s going on in the farmed animal industry.
