Kurzbeschreibung
"Slaughterhouse" is the first book of its kind to explore the impact that unprecedented changes in the meatpacking industry over the last twenty-five years - particularly industry consolidation, increased line speeds, and deregulation - have had on workers, animals, and consumers. It is also the first time ever that workers have spoken publicly about what's really taking place behind the closed doors of America's slaughterhouses. In this new paperback edition, author Gail A Eisnitz brings the story up-to-date since the book's original publication. She describes the ongoing efforts by the Humane Farming Association to improve conditions in the meatpacking industry, media exposes that have prompted reforms resulting in multi-million dollar appropriations by Congress to try to enforce federal inspection laws, and a favourable 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.

I have not been as moved, or as shocked, by man's inhumanity to man and his fellow sentient creatures since I saw the newsreel footage of hundreds of bodies being bulldozed into mass graves at the concentration camps of Auschwitz and Dachau on the BBC's "The World At War".
An utterly shocking, meticulously researched and superbly written expose of the US meat industry and a book that should be read by every person on the planet.
Our future as a species, in truth our very souls are at stake.

Every person who prides him/herself on being educated needs to read this book. It is hard-hitting, beautifully researched, and unfortunately 100% accurate.

Put simply, you'll never look at meat the same way after reading this disturbing, though superb, book. With impeccable reseach and excellent, insightful writing, Ms.Eisnitz lays bare the unthinkable cruelty, greed and corruption behind one of the strongest and most influential of political voices - the American meat industry. Think your Congressman or your local farmers are going to share this kind of information with you? Think again.
Cheers to Gail Eisnitz for having the courage to take on and expose this "Goliath!"

You really have a choice after reading this book - and that choice is to pretend you didn't read it and go on eating meat, or to become conscious of what meat really is, how it is... Lesen Sie weiter...
