In most industrial societies today few people
•
hunt, or gather food or farm.
Instead of religion and technology and
•
business ensure the food supply.

British artist Sue Coe’ There Is No Escape, from 1987 is part of a large series entitled “Porkopolis,” in which Coe shows living animals being transformed into packaged cuts of meat
Inside a slaughterhouse, Coe emphasizes the carnage and sympathizes with the pigs’ fear while the workers seem sadistic or subhuman
•
This emotional image is overall very dark,
•
with a few lurid, glaring lights
Cole wants us to see it as fact end to tie it to
•
the contemporary meat-heavy Western diet.
