520 _aJocelyne Porcher sets out to “reinvent” our relationship with animals so that we can better “live with” them. This article provides a critical examination of her thesis that farm animals can be seen as proper workers, in a sense that precludes the sort of unjust exploitation that she ascribes to factory farming. Contrary to Porcher, the article considers relationships between humans and domesticated species that do not involve killing or even work for food production purposes. The present critique focuses on the distinction between (industrial) “animal productions” and (traditional) “husbandry” practices; the notion of the animal as a worker and its implications; and finally, the assumptions that lead Porcher to overlook possible alternative relationships.
