Considering that we strive to cultivate an indefatigably positive spirit in our animal activism, we’re huge fans of endeavors that give us hope for the future of veganism and animal rights. This piece by Kevin Schneider discusses some of these very endeavors that continue to nurture our activist spirits a year after the piece’s original publication, which is exactly why we’re thrilled to resurrect it for #ThrowbackThursday. This article originally appeared on Our Hen House on June 7, 2013. If you’d like to see a certain OHH article resurrected, email us at info [at] ourhenhouse [dot] org. *** Kevin Schneider is back, this time to discuss the future of meat. *** History Is Bunk? Animal Rights and the End of the Assembly Line by Kevin Schneider Henry Ford, the brilliant American industrialist, is famously quoted as saying, “History is bunk.” Ironically enough, Ford’s own contribution to modern commerce – the assembly line – might soon itself be, well, bunk. While the assembly line has made possible great strides in material wealth and welfare, new technologies like additive manufacturing have the potential to radically change the way we organize labor and produce goods. In addition to unlocking human creativity by moving us away from a one-size-fits-all method of production, the end of the assembly line could be the best news yet for the planet’s non-human inhabitants.

How the Chicago International Livestock Exposition leveraged the eugenics movement to transform animals into machines and industrialize American agriculture.In 1900, the Chicago International Livestock Exposition became the epicenter of agricultural reform that focused on reinventing animals' bodies to fit a modern, industrial design. Chicago meatpackers partnered with land-grant university professors to create the International—a spectacle on the scale of a world's fair—with the intention of setting the standard for animal quality and, in doing so, transformed American agriculture.In Making Machines of Animals, Neal A. Knapp explains the motivations of both the meatpackers and the professors, describing how they deployed the International to redefine animality itself. Both professors and packers hoped to replace so-called scrub livestock with "improved" animals and created a new taxonomy of animal quality based on the burgeoning eugenics movement. The International created novel definitions of animal superiority and codified new norms, resulting in a dramatic shift in animal weight, body size, and market age. These changes transformed the animals from multipurpose to single-purpose products. These standardized animals and their dependence on off-the-farm inputs and exchanges limited farmers' choices regarding husbandry and marketing, ultimately undermining any goals for balanced farming or the maintenance and regeneration of soil fertility.Drawing on land-grant university re...

Last Chance for Animals is a national, non-profit organization dedicated to eliminating animal exploitation through education, investigations, legislation, and media attention. The organization believes that animals are highly sentient creatures who exist for their own reasons independent of their service to humans; they should thus not be made to suffer for the latter. LCA therefore opposes the use of animals in food and clothing production, scientific experimentation, and entertainment. Instead it promotes a cruelty-free lifestyle and the ascription of rights to non-human beings.
