Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs and Wear Cows : An Introduction to Carnism EPUB

How can we love our pets and value kindness to animals generally, yet consume meat from corporations that severely abuse and slaughter 10 billion sentient creatures a year?

She is the ultimate Veganista!In addition, Joy examines corporate animal agribusiness, and the millions of dollars they spend creating the fiction that these animals live outside on idyllic farms.
