A Message Hidden in Plain Sight

This powerful image challenges the sanitized language of the meat industry. Instead of labeling the pig with terms like “ham” or “bacon,” it labels the animal with the emotional and physical torment it endures—“pain,” “suffering,” “misery.” This isn’t exaggeration. These are accurate descriptions of what factory-farmed animals experience from birth to slaughter.

We are conditioned to ignore the sentience behind our food. Words like “pork” and “veal” allow us to distance ourselves from who we’re eating. This illustration cuts through that illusion, demanding we recognize the emotional cost to the animal.

“Know your cuts of meat” takes on a double meaning here. It’s a call to examine not just which part of the body we’re consuming, but the moral price of consuming it at all. Each bite of meat represents a slice of fear, a chunk of confinement, a cut of cruelty.

This isn’t just art. It’s a wake-up call to our conscience. Because once you know, you can’t unknow. And that knowledge demands change.
