5.0 out of 5 stars You will not escape unchanged, 4 May 2002
By A Customer
This is one of those truly powerful books that will leave you forever changed. This is a book everyone should read - I would like to see it used in schools, it is an education. Rather than biased sentimental argumet (I think I expected) it presents a clinical factual accounts of visits to many slaughterhouses, factory farms, stockyards and meat processing plants and leaves you the reader to decide what you think - I challenge anyone to read this book and not feel responsible everythime they even reach for a pint of milk. Warning - reading this book cause you to turn vegan! One very interesting feature of this book is that it contains no photographs, but many illustrations and sketches by the author which in many ways express the scene far more directly than I think a photograph could have. You have to read this and admire the way Coe has managed to keep sentiment out of her accounts but frankly it isn't necessary. You will read this book and emerge utterly appaled at the way the human species uses and abuses everything it dominates. Coe is reluctant to use the haulocaust as any kind of similie but this account helped me to understand what makes humans capable of acts like the haulocaust. Read it whatever your eating habits!

5.0 out of 5 stars A harrowing but essential read, 12 Mar 2000
By A Customer
This book is upsetting to look at, let alone read. However, it merely tells the truth about what happens behind the closed doors of the slaughterhouses and factory farms.

Sue Coe has blown the doors wide open and meat eaters should read this book instead of remaining in blissful ignorance about the misery that ends up on their plates.

Her paintings and drawings are harrowing, her descriptions of the continuous mass murder she witnessed graphic but don't let that put you off. Be aware of what goes on in slaughterhouses and let that be your reason to give up meat for good. A thoroughly excellent book.

5.0 out of 5 stars incredible book, 29 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This book was the reason I became a vegetarian.

While it's easy to skim lightly over even a well-presented and passionate text such as Peter Singer's "Animal Liberation" without understanding the true horror of the meat that you eat, you can't so easily dismiss this book's drawings. They are blunt truths: rather than appealing to your reason, they speak directly to your decency. That makes their argument impossible to ignore.

If you are a meat-eater, you should be afraid to read "Dead Meat," because it will force you to understand the horrible process that turns a life into the food on your plate. But don't let that fear stop you from reading it- you shouldn't fear the book, you should fear the facts that it presents but that tragically exist quite independently of it.
