		As with the Texas Chainsaw Massacre series, Slaughterhouse attempts to inject a bit of dark comedy into the mix, but for the most part such attempts fall flat.

	Satya Jan 98: Interview with Gail Eisnitz
		Thats why I wrote Slaughterhouse: to provide the average American consumer (who eats more than 200 pounds of meat and poultry a year) with the information they need to make more intelligent choices about the food they eat.

		But the executive producers at the news magazines seem to be dead set against producing exposs about the treatment of animals in slaughterhouses.

	GoVeg.com >> Agriprocessors
		AgriProcessors, the world's largest glatt kosher slaughterhouse, has been ignoring the Jewish commitment to compassion and federal law by mutilating fully conscious animals, shocking them in the face, and slaughtering them in a way that has allowed many to stand and attempt to flee, even minutes after their throats had been slit.
		After receiving complaints alleging violations of kosher and federal law at AgriProcessors, a massive Iowa slaughterhouse that produces Rubashkin's, Aaron's Best, and Iowa's Best meats, PETA wrote to company officials and asked them to take steps to make certain that cruelty was not occurring.
		Also, most meat from kosher slaughterhouses is sold as conventional, not kosher meat.

	Slaughterhouse-Five (1972)
		Kurt Vonnegut was more than worthy of the National Book Award that he received for the novel Slaughterhouse Five, but his humor and literary expertise are often lost in screenplays.
		The key to enjoying Slaughterhouse Five is to focus on the best scenes and performances -- much like Billy Pilgrim's advice on living.
		This flawed movie was a cult classic since its release because legions of Vonnegut fans were so fond of the novel that they could overlook the film's flaws.
