Download or read book The Ultimate Betrayal written by Hope Bohanec and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2013-06-13 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on peer-reviewed research, worker and rescuer testimony, and encounters with the farm animals themselves, The Ultimate Betrayal discusses the recent shift in raising and labeling animals processed for food and the misinformation surrounding this new method of farming. This book explores how language manipulates consumers concepts about sustainability, humane treatment, and what is truly healthy. It answers important questions surrounding the latest small-scale farming fad: Is this trend the answer to the plentiful problems of raising animals for food? What do the labels actually mean? Are these products humane, environmentally friendly, or healthy? Can there really be happy meat, milk, or eggs? With case studies and compelling science, The Ultimate Betrayal increases awareness of the issues surrounding our treatment of animals, global health, and making better food choices. The Ultimate Betrayal is a well-rounded and thoroughly-researched book that touches the heart with an honest and unflinching look at the reality behind humane labels. With real-life examples from multiple viewpoints and thought-provoking philosophical underpinnings, The Ultimate Betrayal is a must-read for anyone interested in ethical food choices.

Download or read book Carceral Logics written by Lori Gruen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-04-14 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carceral logics permeate our thinking about humans and nonhumans. We imagine that greater punishment will reduce crime and make society safer. We hope that more convictions and policing for animal crimes will keep animals safe and elevate their social status. The dominant approach to human-animal relations is governed by an unjust imbalance of power that subordinates or ignores the interest nonhumans have in freedom. In this volume Lori Gruen and Justin Marceau invite experts to provide insights into the complicated intersection of issues that arise in thinking about animal law, violence, mass incarceration, and social change. Advocates for enhancing the legal status of animals could learn a great deal from the history and successes (and failures) of other social movements. Likewise, social change lawyers, as well as animal advocates, might learn lessons from each other about the interconnections of oppression as they work to achieve liberation for all. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Download or read book Animals Matter written by Marc Bekoff and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2007-11-13 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nonhuman animals have many of the same feelings we do. They get hurt, they suffer, they are happy, and they take care of each other. Marc Bekoff, a renowned biologist specializing in animal minds and emotions, guides readers from high school age up—including older adults who want a basic introduction to the topic—in looking at scientific research, philosophical ideas, and humane values that argue for the ethical and compassionate treatment of animals. Citing the latest scientific studies and tackling controversies with conviction, he zeroes in on the important questions, inviting reader participation with "thought experiments" and ideas for action. Among the questions considered: • Are some species more valuable or more important than others? • Do some animals feel pain and suffering and not others? • Do animals feel emotions? • Should endangered animals be reintroduced to places where they originally lived? • Should animals be kept in captivity? • Are there alternatives to using animals for food, clothing, cosmetic testing, and dissection in the science classroom? • What can we learn by imagining what it feels like to be a dog or a cat or a mouse or an ant? • What can we do to make a difference in animals’ quality of life? Bekoff urges us not only to understand and protect animals—especially those whose help we want for our research and other human needs—but to love and respect them as our fellow beings on this planet that we all want to share in peace.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kentucky native Nancy Culpepper boldly left home to attend school in Massachusetts, married a Yankee, and raised her son in the Northeast. “One day I was feeding chickens and listening to Hank Williams and the next day I was expected to know what wines went with what,” she tells her husband, Jack. Yet no matter where she travels, her rural southern heritage is never far from her thoughts, her habits, and her heart. Nancy is on a lifelong quest to understand her place in the world. Returning home to the family farm, she searches for photographic evidence of an ancestor bearing her own name. Still in her jeans, she brings home strange ideas and an assertiveness she learned up north. Always adventurous, Nancy travels far and wide–searching, seeking. The narrative sweep of her life traverses the turbulent sixties, the Vietnam War, the eighties and the foreboding death of John Lennon, and finally the new millennium–when a self-assured Nancy finally emerges. These humorous and often touching stories recount her courtship and marriage to Jack, her relationship with her precocious son, and the deep, loving bond between her parents, Spence and Lila Culpepper. Eventually Nancy’s marriage is threatened by a cultural divide that plagued her and Jack from the start. But when she inherits the Culpepper family farm and discovers more pieces of her ancestral puzzle, she realizes that her life is assuming its proper shape. Later, standing on a lonely mountain in England, she sees the world from a surprising perspective. Bestselling author Bobbie Ann Mason’s prizewinning Nancy Culpepper chronicles have appeared in The New Yorker, The Boston Globe, The Southern Review, and other distinguished literary anthologies. She has compiled these stories into one definitive collection, which includes the novella Spence + Lila, two new, never-before-published stories, and one Pushcart Prize winner. Heartfelt and thought-provoking, Nancy Culpepper is a poignant depiction of change and growth in a modern-day heroine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ​​​​​​There are two kinds of people in the world at the present juncture: the dreaming & awake; the sheeple & un-sheeple; the shadow keepers & the light-bringers. Many people have one foot in both worlds. If you are in limbo, awake... or want to be, this book was made to serve YOU. ***** What you have before you is a masterpiece spawn to pioneer the New Renaissance on “New Earth” in this era of the 21st century Golden Age. Despite a wee bit of irreverent sass, this book is meant to be earnestly undertaken. Bold predictions are made, for the future of our civilization. ***** The mass devastation we currently see taking place on the world stage: war, division, conflict, corruption; crime, injustice, poverty, illness, disease; pollution, wildfires, twisters, death, destruction & disaster... is all just the PURGING of a long lineage of UN-grace, if you will. There is no other way to rid the planet of it, than to draw it to the surface for release, to be transmuted to light. Any stuck pattern & program must unearth in order to be gone for good. Make sense? ***** THIS is what "Pandora's Box is Burning" means. The future of our species depends on it. The burning of Pandora's Box is the catalyst for Humanity's Final Frontier, which is… World Peace, Ahimsa & the law of the land becoming LOVE. Hence, the symbolic transformational feat of the rising phoenix portrayed on the front cover. This is the stage in human evolution where everything is coming to a head on purpose, to be cleared or burned into the fire of transmutation, so PEACE can be possible. Man's turning point, is GOD'S TURN. ***** Note: This book is the final installment of "Thee Trilogy of the Ages" series, which is more like a collection, so the books can be read in any order. ***** ”Wel--come--to--your---life, there’s no turning back.” ***** BookonFire Press~In Love We Trust Self-empowerment/Soul Mastery/Higher Learning/Social Justice/Transformation/Ahimsa/America
