Download or read book Meatsplaining written by Jason Hannan and published by Sydney University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The animal agriculture industry, like other profit-driven industries, aggressively seeks to shield itself from public scrutiny. To that end, it uses a distinct set of rhetorical strategies to deflect criticism. These tactics are fundamental to modern animal agriculture but have long evaded critical analysis. In this collection, academic and activist contributors investigate the many forms of denialism perpetuated by the animal agriculture industry. What strategies does the industry use to avoid questions about its inhumane treatment of animals and its impact on the environment and public health? What narratives, myths and fantasies does it promote to sustain its image in the public imagination? ‘powerful, timely and essential’ – David Nibert, author of Animal Oppression and Human Violence: Domesecration, Capitalism, and Global Conflict ‘Meatsplaining equips us to identify the lies at the heart of animal agriculture. It’s an excellent and timely compilation on an exceedingly vexing problem.’ – Carol J. Adams, author of The Sexual Politics of Meat and Burger ‘Meatsplaining is the first book to give an apt name to the animal agriculture industry’s relentless campaign of disinformation and denialism ... Written in a clear, lively, and accessible style, Meatsplaining will surely educate the public about the horrors of animal agriculture.’ – Marc Bekoff, author of The Animals’ Agenda: Freedom, Compassion, and Coexistence in the Human Age ‘Cruelty thrives in secrecy, and the meat industry is highly skilled at concealing the routine abuse and misery that flourishes on modern farms. Meatsplaining cuts through the spin, and exposes the meat industry's massive PR machine. It explores how Big Meat uses language, obfuscation, and denial to misdirect the public's attention away from its commodification of sentient animals, environmental devastation, and the looming health crisis caused by eating animals. This book is a must-read for animal advocates, and anyone else who no longer wants to be lied to.’ – Camille Labchuk, Executive Director, Animal Justice ‘This book ... provides a necessary corrective to the fantasy world created by meat industry propaganda. As we grapple with a global zoonotic pandemic and biodiversity crisis, it is urgent for us to ... start thinking clearly about who and what is on our plates.’ – John Sorenson, Brock University

Book excerpt: In this “provocative and persuasive work,” the health advocate reveals the dirty economics of meat—an industry that’s eating into your wallet (Publishers Weekly). Few Americans are aware of the economic system that supports our country’s supply of animal foods. Yet these forces affect us in a number of ways—none of them good. Though we only pay a few dollars per pound of meat at the grocery store, we pay far more in tax-fueled government subsidies—$38 billion more, to be exact. And subsidies are just one layer of meat’s hidden cost. But in Meatonomics, lawyer and sustainability advocate David Robinson Simon offers a path toward lasting solutions. Animal food producers maintain market dominance with artificially low prices, misleading PR, and an outsized influence over legislation. But counteracting these manipulations is easy—with the economic sanity of plant-based foods. In Meatonomics, Simon demonstrates: How government-funded marketing influences what we think of as healthy eating How much of our money is spent to prop up the meat industry How we can change our habits and our country for the better “Spectacularly important.” —John Robbins, author of The Food Revolution “[A] well-researched, passionately written book.” —Publishers Weekly

Download or read book Animal Welfare in Australia written by Peter John Chen and published by Sydney University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-10 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The issue of animal welfare has attracted much attention in Australia in recent decades. Activists and welfare organisations have become increasingly vigorous in promoting a new ethical relationship between humans and animals, and in challenging practices they identify as inhumane. In 2011 this agitation culminated in the temporary suspension of cattle live exports, with significant economic and political implications for Australia. Similar campaigns have focused on domestic food production systems and the use of animals in entertainment. Yet despite this increased interest, the policy process remains poorly understood. Animal Welfare in Australia is the first Australian book to examine the topic in a systematic manner. Without taking a specific ethical position, Chen draws on a wide range of sources – including activists, industry representatives and policy makers – to explain how policy is made and implemented. He explores the history of animal welfare in Australia, examines public opinion and media coverage of key issues, and comprehensively maps the policy domain. He shows how diverse social, ethical and economic interests interact to produce a complex and unpredictable climate. Animal Welfare in Australia will be of interest to scholars and practitioners of public policy, those interested in issues of animal welfare, and anyone wishing to understand how competing interests interact in the contemporary Australian policy landscape.

Book excerpt: The Australian Beef Report is an independent publication detailing and analysing the financial and production performance of grass-fed beef industry in Australia. It has been written for profit focussed beef producers, industry service professionals and other industry stakeholders who would like to better understand, and improve, beef business performance in Australia.It reports on the performance of specialist, family owned, beef businesses in Australia. The industry is broken up into North (QLD, NT and the northern half of WA) and South (NSW, VIC, TAS, SA and southern half of WA) for the analysis. Within these two halves of Australia there is segmentation and analysis of the north and south by herd size, market and region. For each cohort, the performance is analysed at the business level (Income Statement, Balance Sheet, and Whole Business Key Performance Indicator's) and at enterprise level (Herd Income Statement and Herd Key Performance Indicator's) for both the average of the cohort and the Top 25% of businesses.This analysis allows the performance of the industry by region, herd size and market to be thoroughly analysed. The factors which separate the top performers are detailed, with pathways and options to improve the financial performance of beef businesses are clearly identified.Insights and wisdom from a panel of producers from across the beef industry are also included in the report. This 'Pastoral Panel' share their hard-won experience and unique perspectives, and have opened a window into their character in doing so. Their responses are frank, insightful, sometimes contrary, but unfailingly thought provoking. The Australian Beef industry is the largest land manager in Australia, managing nearly 50% of the land mass and its long-term performance is determined by how well it manages that natural resource base. A chapter has therefore been included on the 'The Effective Utilisation and Preservation of the Natural Resource Base', prepared by industry experts with practical understanding of both the established science and the latest research.Land values, terms of trade, industry productivity, herd rebuilding post drought, climate risk management and beef prices are also discussed in this valuable resource for the beef industry.
