Every day, millions of people around the world sit down to a meal that includes meat. This book asks a key question we may take for granted, along with several others: How did the domestication and production of livestock animals emerge and why? How did current modes of raising and slaughtering animals for human consumption develop, and what are their consequences? What can be done to mitigate and even reverse the impacts of animal production?
