Brooke Bowlin’s Reviews > The Sexual Politics of Meat: A Feminist-Vegetarian Critical Theory > Status Update

“Who loves this horrible thing called War? Probably the meat eaters, having killed, feel the need to kill. . . From cutting the throat of a young calf to cutting the throat of our brothers and sisters is but a step.
