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 exposés that have prompted reforms resulting in multimillion dollar appropriations by Congress to try to enforce federal inspection laws, and a favorable 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. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A must read for animal lovers of any kindI had this book for about six months before I got up the nerve to read it. I have always been a meat-eater and was afraid that if I read the book I would have to give it up. I've read the book and haven't touched meat since. In my case ignorance wasn't bliss. Ignorance was just plain stupidity. I've been around animals of all types all of my life and after reading this book I know I can never eat another piece of meat knowing that an animal suffered just so I could selfishly have ... Read More Rating: - SlaughehouseAwesome documentary!! A must read for anyone who has any interest in nutrition, especially regarding animal products. Rating: - Read this bookThis book was written over ten years ago, population then, and meat consumption was not as high as it is today. Imagine how the profiteers behind the meat market have to rush these animals through the massacre to provide for the needs of a ever hungrier and misinformed population we have now. This book was the last drop into a series of books that made me give up eating meat entirely. No wonder they never allowed it on that 60 minutes show, but after all these years the truth is coming ... Read More Rating: - More inspirationI've watch the PETA videos,"Meet your Meat" etc. So I'm already familiar to the horrors of the slaughterhouse industry. I haven't read the Jungle book yet, but was surprised that even this day in age the dangers of those working in the slaughterhouses. My initial intent was to read it as more inspiration for me on my Vegan journey. (I'm additicted to cheese) And daily doses of reading this book helped me awake to my new lifestyle. The information was so helpful for me when people would attack my belief ... Read More Rating:  - We wish we could ignore it but we can't!I read this book and did not know what to expect. It has definitely changed the choices I make when it comes to food and where I buy it. It has also inspired me to eat more meatless dishes and learn more about other types of foods I probably would have never tried.
