Book Overview
Each year, an estimated 1.5 billion pigs are sacrificed for food on an industrial scale. This is such a humongous count of animals that no niches of the ecosystem, food chains, food commodities or consumables would likely be spared of its imprint, traces, contamination or residues - do whatever. 'The Last Pig' is a bold manifesto calling for wind-up of global swine production and intensive pork trade. Its a compact monograph which appeals to the consumers more than the policy makers, businesses and cooperatives. All in the realm of unfolding multiresistant biomes, infections, contaminations, emissions and the viral pandemics of the past and those in the offing, not to mention cancer risks equal to those of class-1 carcinogens.
To imagine the last pig is to imagine the end of an exploitative era and beginning of the one where meats no longer unleash disease, hunger, and planetary decay. 'The Last Pig' is not the end of food - it is the beginning of healing. It is a call to douse the engines of suffering, to reclaim the moral intelligence that modernity has traded for appetite. A turning point where humanity, humbled by science and conscience alike, finally steps beyond the machinery of pork, towards a cleaner and kinder form of existence.
