In its final form—as a drumstick, sirloin, flank, breast, brisket, rib—meat becomes an abstract, a consumable with no weight or relevance to the creature it came from. You don’t consider the

This case is about a company that has been wrongfully accused of polluting into the bay. The evidence that we are about to give will indicate that Poultry Tech will not be adding more pollution to the bay by building a hotel on our land.
