Her latest effort is the disturbing book Dead Meat, a visual record of Coe's visits to 40 slaughterhouses, cattle ranches, and hatcheries to document the grisly practices of the meat-packing industry. Although she was not allowed to photograph on the premises, she was permitted to draw and sketch, and much of this work is jarringly graphic. Incorporated with the artwork are her thoughts and observations laid out in diary form. Even if you don't agree with Coe's politics, this is social and political art at its most powerful, in the tradition of Goya, Daumier, and Rockwell Kent. Product Description: A nationally prominent, politically oriented artist offers an unsparingly critical view of the meat industry in scores of illustrations, documenting the skewing, flaying, dismembering, castrating, debeaking, electrocuting, and decapitating of animals.

 Rating:  - Animal Abuse and ArtThis book comes from someone with an animal rights background and a background in the arts as well. The images are so well done,perfectly disturbing and the stories,truthful and profound. A great read for anyone that wants to know the truth behind the industry. Rating:  - Polemic by artist with seriously warped view of lifeI purchased this book because I like deviant art, but this one goes beyond deviant..it's just crazed and illogical. I'd like to state for the record that I have personally killed and helped gut hundreds of chickens. When you are hungry and dealing with the processing of a winter food supply, sentimentality is a luxury you can ill afford. I did not believe then nor do I believe now that chicken killers are "Nazis" perpetuating a holocaust. Sue Coe exaggerates the grim reality of farm animal slaughter, ... Read More Rating: - meet your meatSue Coe's daring and disturbing voyages through the average day in the lives of the people and animals involved in the factory farming industry. This is the book that converted me to Veganism. Though I am wary about drawing comparisons to the Holocaust, Sue Coe exposes the primitive, barbaribaric and ignorant side of 'civilized' human society that made the Holocaust to happen, the very same side of human nature that minute by minute allows the systematic torture, neglect and abuse of rights ... Read More Rating: - Haunting PicturesSome of the pictures in this book will stay with you for a long time, some may even make meat-eaters turn vegetarian. But, even more so than the pictures, the description of the horror of factory farms - to the animals and the workers - will disgust anyone with a heart. I reccommend this book to longtime vegetarians, new vegetarians, and also to people who are just interested in maybe trying vegetarianism. (...) Rating: - Animal lovers unite.If you are passionate about animals, you must read this book. The drawings alone tell the story. The introduction is very educational and will enlighten you. This book is very informative in the body and the drawings and a must read for anyone. It explains the horror that goes on in the slaughterhouses and even gives you a tour through them. I learned more from this book than any other in my personal library on this subject.
