anthropornography

anthropornography
 n.— «Adams coins the term “anthropornography”: “the depiction of nonhuman animals as whores”…. We have all seen anthropornographic ads, but for most of us, we didn’t register what we were looking at. A cartoon with a cow standing like a sexy lady; a pig drawn with lipstick and a voluptuous rump; a chicken lifting her miniskirt to reveal her tasty feminine legs.» —“The Pornography of Meat by Carol Adams” by Lisa Kemmerer Philosophy Now (London, United Kingdom) Aug. 4, 2006.
