PRISONED CHICKENS POISONED EGGS: AN INSIDE LOOK AT THE MODERN POULTRY INDUSTRY(REVISED EDITION)
Book ID/图书代码： 02153013B65149
English Summary/英文概要： Karen Davis wrote Prisoned Chickens, Poisoned Eggs in the mid-1990s to focus attention on the billions of chickens buried alive on factory farms. The book was a catalyst for animal rights activists seeking to develop effective strategies to expose and relieve the plight of chickens. United Poultry Concerns campaign in the 1990s to reveal the U.S. egg industry s cruel practice of starving hens to force them to molt their feathers and cut the cost of egg production was decisive in shifting advocacy attention to chickens and the hidden causes of Salmonella and Campylobacter food poisoning.
This new edition documents what has happened since the book first appeared the waging of high-profile campaigns to get rid of battery cages for laying hens, undercover investigations exposing the appalling cruelty to chickens and turkeys by poultry industry workers, globalization of chicken production and its effect on the environment and spread of avian influenza, and how farm animal sanctuaries have become key players in debunking industry myths with truthful accounts of the sensitive and intelligent birds being brutalized in the name of food. It also effectively explains why these birds are so ill, why eating them makes people sick, and what can be done to cure the pathology of the modern poultry industry.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 卡伦•达维斯早在20世纪90年代中期便创作了《笼鸡病蛋》这一书，在书中，他将注意力投诸于数以千百万只活活葬送在农业工厂中的肉鸡身上。该书当年极大的触动了动物权利激进主义分子，他们更为积极寻找各种有效途径，以向民众揭露鸡群们所受的苦难与折磨。20世纪90年代爆发的“忧虑家禽”联合运动一方面揭示了美国鸡蛋制造业为了迫使母鸡脱毛而生产出更多的鸡蛋而采取的残忍饥饿法手段，另一方面，为了转变人们对于鸡群的关注方向，从根源上遏制可能导致鸡蛋等食物中携带有沙门氏菌和弯曲菌的可能性因素，他们认为削减蛋类消费是十分必要的。本书的这一全新版本记录了自本书首次问世后发生的一切，从引发与高利润群体的斗争到争取让笼中的母鸡摆脱在层架式鸡笼中度过一生的命运，书中所揭开的调查结果不仅暴露出了家禽业工人对鸡群们施以的种种残酷暴行，还揭示了随着养鸡业的日益全球化，其对环境产生的巨大影响，以及禽流感的传播等，作者还用真实的陈述揭开了鸡群乐园这一看似美好的行业美谈背后的虚伪---人类实则是以食物之名对鸡群施以了更为残酷的迫害。书中还为我们解释了这些家禽生病的原因，人类是如何在食用了这样的家禽后同样生病，以及要想治疗这一现代家禽业的普遍病症，我们又该做出怎样的行动。（DC）
