  This is an account of industrialized
killing from a participant’s point of view. The author, political scientist Timothy Pachirat, was employed
undercover for five months in a Great Plains slaughterhouse where 2,500 cattle were killed per day—one every
twelve seconds. Working in the cooler as a liver hanger, in the chutes as a cattle driver, and on the kill floor as a
food-safety quality-control worker, Pachirat experienced firsthand the realities of the work of killing in modern
society. He uses those experiences to explore not only the slaughter industry but also how, as a society, we facilitate
violent labor and hide away that which is too repugnant to contemplate.
  
  Through his vivid narrative and
ethnographic approach, Pachirat brings to life massive, routine killing from the perspective of those who take part in
it. He shows how surveillance and sequestration operate within the slaughterhouse and in its interactions with the
community at large. He also considers how society is organized to distance and hide uncomfortable realities from view.
With much to say about issues ranging from the sociology of violence and modern food production to animal rights and
welfare, Every Twelve Seconds is an important and disturbing work.
  
  
  
  Review
  "A truly
stunning achievement. Every Twelve Seconds takes us into the slaughterhouse and asks: Why do we work so hard to conceal
the daily routine of industrialized killing? The result is a masterpiece that is as sophisticated as it is hard to put
down."--Steve Striffler, author ofChicken: The Dangerous Transformation of America's Favorite Food
  
  "This
is a masterful expose, written in crystalline prose. In tying the cruelty and dehumanization of industrialized slaughter
to the politics of sight, the book adds to a growing canon of recent work . . . by extending people's understanding of
and exacerbating human repugnance to one of the great moral failings of current times. Summing Up: Highly
recommended."--CHOICE
  
  "Pachirat's prose and tone are readable, horrific, and compelling. The documentary
spell it casts recalls the steady, unflinching eye of Orwell'sRoad to Wigan Pier. Astonishing."--John Bowe, author of
Nobodies: Slave Labor in Modern America and the Dark Side of the New Global Economy
  
  "Timothy Pachirat's
courageous study of kill floor work exposes the fiction of "humane" slaughter. This book is required reading for people
who care about animals and for those interested in how distance and concealment operate in our society."--Gene Baur,
President of Farm Sanctuary and author of Farm Sanctuary: Changing Hearts and Minds About Animals and Food
  

 
  Complete with meticulous diagrams showing each worker's position in the slaughterhouse, descriptions of each
worker's job duties, and an appendix detailing cattle body parts and their uses, this compelling documentary work
illuminates in great detail the workings of an industrial slaughterhouse. VERDICT For anyone curious about the origin of
beef in America or those interested in the politics of concealment.--Diana Hartle, Univ. of Georgia Lib., Athens,
Library Journal
  
  "Pachirat’s extraordinary narrative tells us about much more than abused animals
and degraded workers. It opens our eyes to the kind of society in which we live."—Peter Singer, author of Animal
Liberation
  (Peter Singer 2011-07-07)
  
  “The book is superbly written, especially given the
grimness of the subject.”—Mark Bittman, The New York Times, Opinionator column
  (Mark Bittman The New
York Times)
  
  “A lucid writer, Pachirat excels in explaining how a slaughterhouse
works.”—Ted Conover, The Nation
  (Ted Conover The Nation)
  
  "A fascinating,
gut-wrenching study—but absolutely not for the weak of stomach."—Kirkus Reviews
  (Kirkus Reviews)
