Reviews
“This book provides a damning indictment of how animal harm is legitimized within contemporary agricultural production in the United States. Through analysis of language and corporate messages Schally provides a fascinating insight into the different ways in which animal harm is hidden, normalised and legalised within the animal product industry. This book is an important contribution to green criminology's species justice literature.” (Angus Nurse, Associate Professor, Department of Criminology and Sociology, Middlesex University, UK)
