First printing. Copyright 1989. Black boards, gilt spine titles, light shelf wear. Pages near fine; no writing. Small news-clipping adhered to front endpaper. Bind fine, square; hinges intact. Original pictorial dust wrapper, light shelf wear; unclipped 17.95, protected in new clear sleeve. Scarce near fine first edition in same wrapper. Illustrated throughout with honest, but not gratuitous, photographs of the situation. This is contrasted with idyllic chapter illustrations of the traditional farm setting. Early, and perhaps first of its kind volume. An honest and accessible evaluation of industrialized livestock agriculture wherefrom the majority of beef, chicken and pork are derived. Old MacDonald's Factory Farm examines how modern agribusiness (1980s) altered animal husbandry, food production, animal welfare, and the public image of the traditional family farm. With a foreword by veterinarian and animal-welfare advocate Michael W. Fox, this is a chilling look at the indecency and inhumanity of factory farming, agribusiness, food ethics, and the environmental politics of these practices. 187 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.…
