A clear and accessible read, beautifully illustrated with paintings, maps, and photographs that demonstrate the prominence of the pig in America." Yet comparable claims of similarity could be made—and were—for dogs, sheep, goats, horses, and a great many other species besides. Using pigs was partly a matter of personal or laboratory style; not so coincidentally, many institutions that adopted this style were located in or near major agricultural centers. And while “experimental” pigs were promised different futures than their table-bound kin, both would fall prey to the same developments in veterinary and agricultural knowledge. Initially a spinoff of industrial production, like fetal pigs, miniature swine generated new synergies between agriculture and basic science: laboratory studies produced improvements in pork production and vice versa. Pig management in the Neolithic Near East and East Asia clarified with isotope analyses of bulk collagen and amino acids.

The way to diminish leftist resentment at huge piles of private wealth is to give them a cut. Rather than standing afar and benefitting only accidentally from the cheap, dead matter cast off by a distant system of meat generation, scientists are accountable for that system’s propagation. Laboratories may return life to the dead, but they play a part in the killing as well, even as centuries of experimentalists have euphemized such actions with the term “sacrifice.” To “sacrifice” a laboratory animal suggests that the cause was just; to “kill” implicates one in a much more complicated moral deliberation.
