as I was running this morning, I couldn't help wonder what the difference is between his book and The Compassionate Carnivore and the myriad others written by people who despise factory farming, yet claim to love animals (and of course love their "meat," and find a way to get it while not feeling bad about it).

There's no "compassion" in the process. No factory farms, no large-scale operations where animals are crammed together under a roof, never to see the light of day. I wouldn't do it to a dog, and I shouldn't do it to a chicken/sheep/cow/pig. It's impersonal and hideously ugly and the animals suffer greatly.

We "traditionally" have applied our social mores in some places and not others, and we should go back to "tradition," which I bet has something to do with continuing to care about our dogs while continuing to feign care for "farm animals," as they're value is as food only. Let the games begin. What's all this about emotion, anyway?
