"The meat industry's ruthless, cruel, inhumane tactics affect people and animals alike. From the kill floor where quotas are placed at a higher priority than human safety, to the supermarket case where meat tainted with feces and urine (animal and human), bile, teeth, hide, roaches, and more...know what you're consuming and at what price."

"I read this about a year after I went vegan.. it shocked me, and I cried through a large proportion of it. Shocking, but everyone must read it. Great account of untold horrors in the animal agricultural industry. Go vegan, please."
"Disgusting and very eye opening look at the food industry of America and will make you think twice about that hamburger on your plate .. The book is mostly a collection of interviews of various people who have actually worked for packing plants."
"This book should be required reading for just about everyone in the U.S. It's disturbing and horrifying, yes, but knowledge is power. The meat industry affects us all, and it's important to face the reality, regardless of where one may stand on the issue of eating meat."
