Systems of oppression function by exploiting the most vulnerable amongst us. Where these oppressive systems overlap, the victims are pitted against one another. Slaughterhouses provide a particularly brutal example, wherein speciesism, capitalism, and carcerality intersect at the expense of their collective victims. In a dozen compelling essays from around the world, VEGAN ENTANGLEMENTS examines the ways human and animal bodies are controlled, manipulated, and sectioned within a system that commodifies labour, production, and individual beings for profit. The book is divided into four sections: 1: The Intersection(s) Between Prison- and Animal-Industrial Complexes 2: Critical Animal Geographies and the Panopticon 3: Law, Veganism, and the Carceral State 4: Fighting for Our Collective Liberation with Consistent Anti-Oppression
