Peter Singer & Vegetarian Dogs (was Re: The Heiress and the Anarchist)

Gordon Fitch sayeth:
>The fact is, the meat industry is a Sierra Nevada of misery, torture, and
death for innumerable beings who may be as
capable of suffering as you or I, but who almost certainly lack our capacity
to mitigate immediate pain by telling
ourselves fables about better worlds and benevolent gods.

   There is a great book from Sue Coe, the radical artist, on the meat
packing plants, that depicts the (almost said dehumanization!) brutality to
both the cattle, pigs and chickens, and the human workers, mostly Central
American and Mexican living in Nebraska and Iowa (hopefuly the UFCW is
making inroads, read a good piece on this in all places, US News & World
Report a whille ago).

   And last night found an article in German, on a debate between Singer and
Peter Sloterdijk. Anyone (maybe Johannes) wanna translate?
