After the ARO book of the week, Slaughterhouse, was sent
out, we found that
the price was not $29.95 as we stated, but is $25.95 instead. We also
thought
you might be interested in some of the reviews this book has received:
"I have just read SLAUGHTERHOUSE at one sitting....Gail
Eisnitz has
penetrated the veil that hangs over meat production, and what she has
found
will shock every reader....Eisnitz is a brilliant investigator, writes
superbly,
and has the courage and persistence of someone who knows that she is
right....Whether you eat meat or not�if you care about humans or
animals�
this book is a must read."
--- Dr. Peter Singer
ANIMAL LIBERATION
"....SLAUGHTERHOUSE will make you aware. It will wake
you up.
It will change your life."
--- John Robbins
DIET FOR A NEW AMERICA
"....This book has the potential for slaughterhouse
reform as no book has
since Upton Sinclair�s 1906 THE JUNGLE turned stomachs and inspired
improved laws to govern the meat industry."
--- Animal Protection Institute
"The Jungle has born a daughter. It is tireless and
tenacious investigative
journalist Gail Eisnitz� recent tome Slaughterhouse...Whether readers
will
actually be able to take the reins from the all-powerful USDA and meat
processors remains to be seen. But Eisnitz has taken many trips to hell
and back in the hopes that they will."
--- WASHINGTON POST Reporter Kari Lydersen in CHICAGO INK
"SLAUGHTERHOUSE, a fast-moving, gripping and gritty
account that
speaks volumes of the tenacity and investigative savvy of author Gail
Eisnitz,
may do for factory-farmed animals what horror tales of factory farming
alone
could not."
--- ASPCA
"SLAUGHTERHOUSE is an intensively researched expos�
written by a
woman who, virtually single-handed, uncovered the de facto repeal of our
country�s federal Humane Slaughter Act."
--- Christine Stevens
Animal Welfare Institute
"SLAUGHTERHOUSE is an engaging true-life detective
story....A scathing
broadside about exactly what the animals on our dinner plate went
through
to get there."
--- Bill Wallace,
SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
"Not since Upton Sinclair wrote THE JUNGLE has a book
appeared that
takes such a thought-provoking look at how animals used as food are
slaughtered. Gail Eisnitz exposes the inhumane treatment of farm animals
as
they make their final journey and the horrific conditions under which
slaughterhouse workers must perform their jobs. This book is a
must-read."
--- Humane Society of the U.S.
