Por qué amamos a los perros, nos comemos a los cerdos y nos vestimos con las vacas

Synopsis of Por qué amamos a los perros, nos comemos a los cerdos y nos vestimos con las vacas

«Por qué amamos a los perros, nos comemos a los cerdos y nos vestimos con las vacas» is Melanie Joy's essay on carnism, published by Plaza y Valdés Editores in paperback (208 pages, in Spanish).

The work reflects on why in our culture we treat some species as companion animals and turn others into food or raw material. Melanie Joy, a social psychologist, describes carnism as the belief system that sustains meat consumption, and analyzes how society ignores animal consciousness, the suffering animals endure and intensive farming practices to normalize that contradiction.

It is volume 02 of the LiberÁnima collection from Plaza y Valdés, with a foreword from an edition that praises the book. Work translated into nine languages.

Recommended for readers interested in the psychological and social foundations of veganism, vegetarianism, animal advocacy and the ethical implications of food.
