Описание
The original Prisoned Chickens, Poisoned Eggs became a blueprint for people seeking a coherent picture of the poultry industry as well as a handbook for animal rights advocates seeking to develop effective strategies to expose and relieve the plight of chickens. This new edition tells where things stand in a new century in which avian influenza, food poisoning, genetic engineering and the expansion of poultry and egg production are careening to an unsustainable point. Author Karen Davis also helps readers understand the behavior and cognitive abilities of the chickens so they're no longer viewed as an inferior species to be treated merely as a food source. She also recommends embracing a plant-based diet as an alternative to the warfare waged on defenseless chickens. Prisoned Chickens Poisoned Eggs helps flextarians and non-vegetarians alike understand the true cost of their meals and may be the catalyst needed to change this warfare to welfare.
