The book “Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs and Wear Cows” by Melanie Joy is interesting
and also evoked my curiosity. She explores the invisible system that form our perception
of the meat we eat because of our love for some animals like dogs. However we eat other
animals like pigs and cows without knowing why it is okay to eat them. In the chapter
two, she named the system carnism. It is a kind of belief or ideology system which
controls us to choose which animals become our food. This system is also on the basis
of the psychology and social mechanisms. Later the author mentioned that carnism is
violence because it involves the killing of animals. The main idea of why we eat meat in
this book is very visible---our psychology.
