This is a much needed critical intervention into the politics and ethics of animal agriculture and issues of animal care. As Buller and Roe remind us, these are subjects that cannot be owned by any one field, not by veterinary scientists or ethicists. Questions about animal welfare are also deeply social, making this book all the more powerful by reminding us of our own interdependence with those nonhuman animals that feed us. * Michael S. Carolan, Colorado State University, USA * What becomes manifest as body eats body? Interfacing animal and agro-food studies - mixing science, economics and ethics; tracing bodies, body-parts, feelings and foodstuffs - the authors centralise animal welfare as the hinge for answering this provocative question. Addressing complex, often contradictory events - caring and killing, raising and erasing, fattening and rendering - they close the distance between field and fork, conjuring new sensibilities with which to rethink the politics of livestock production and consumption. * Christopher Philo, University of Glasgow, UK *
