This slide show is based on the critically acclaimed book of the
same name. In Why We Love Dogs…social psychologist Melanie Joy
explains carnism, the invisible belief system that shapes our
perception of the meat we eat, so that we love some animals and
eat others without knowing why. Joy explains how carnism, like
other isms, (sexis…m, racism, etc.) is most harmful when it is
unrecognized; and it is sustained by complex, hidden social and
psychological mechanisms. Dr. Joy is a Harvard-educated
psychologist, personal/relationship coach, professor of
psychology and sociology at the University of Massachusetts,
Boston, and celebrated speaker. Tompkins Cortland Community
