Each of the first eight chapters discusses how people use a particular method of moral disengagement to feel better about harming animals. The last two chapters highlight the myths that have been developed in this regard, including the Myth of Happy Meat and the Myth of Humane Animal Research. These myths perpetuate the attitudes and actions of modern sexists and racists, further legitimizing their actions. \u003ci\u003eHappy Meat, Humane Animal Research, and Other Myth\u003c\/i\u003es discusses how different forms of prejudice are interconnected and why we will not be able to eradicate other forms of such violence without eradicating prejudice against animals, too. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The appendix consists of \"The Omnivore's Moral Dilemmas,\" an essay that discusses the ethical conflicts faced by omnivores who think of themselves as environmentalists, feminists, humanitarians, humane pescatarians, or humane vegetarians and why they cannot be true to their values without adopting a plant-based diet.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeter Marsh\u003c\/b\u003e secured a bachelor's degree in psychology from Wesleyan University in 1976.
