The Compassionate Carnivore Or, How to Keep Animals Happy, Save Old MacDonald’s Farm, Reduce Your Hoofprint, and Still Eat Meat

For most of her life, Catherine Friend was a carnivore who preferred not to consider where the meat on her plate came from. But her attitude began to change after she and her partner bought a farm and began raising sheep for meat. Friend's ensuring odyssey through the world of livestock and farming is a journey that offers critical insights-for omnivores and herbivores alike-into how our meat is raised, how we buy it and from whom, and why change is desirable and possible. Book jacket.

Catherine Friend is the author of Hit by a Farm, as well as six children’s books and two novels. She farms in Minnesota with her partner of twenty-five years.
