“…Animal culls from emergent veterinary infection or known pathogens that could have been avoided by better vaccination programmes can impair the meat supply and cause price spikes. Regulating the market with a visible hand banning illegal wildlife, improving livestock densities and revamping with less cruelty to animals and fish, tidier slaughterhouse conditions combined with early warning systems are urgent to correct this "biological experiment" as are fresh looks at conservation in zoos and parks with public health in mind [285][286][287][288]. Restricting the rich in a "meat retreat" but supplying the poor is the crucial point that must be kept central to policies and not compatible with calls to abolish livestock farming and replace with veganism and microbial ferments (reminiscent of the dystopian 1973 film Soylent Green) [45,[289][290][291][292][293] (Figure 14).…”

North-South variation in the supply of meat has always been present. Sharing of meat was the rule but in the multi-centric Neolithic revolution when domestication of animals and plants co-evolved class differences became pronounced-aristocrats and inferior proletariats and “lesser breeds and lower orders” started to form. The distribution of natural domesticates was uneven with the near-east and a temperate band across Europe well off compared with Africa and the Americas. The Columbian exchange changed this as meat became abundant in the New World who then exported to Europe. Wars, expropriations and genocides were over the meat supply and acquiring pastureland or water. Colonial plantation profits paid for meat imports from “settler colonies” indigenous or poor peoples on low meat pro-pellagrous diets were considered inferior whatever their colour and had poorer health and life expectancy. Attempts to correct hunger in the resultant ramshackle “Third world” concentrated on calories fuelling population booms and busts and delaying demographic, epidemiological and economic transitions. High meat variances are narrowing in China and Asia but need help elsewhere in the South. Dangers of not developing with a safe and sufficient meat supply include the emergence of zoonoses and mass migration. Reparations, rehabilitation and rejuvenation should concentrate on reconstituting a meat commons giving us a shot at redemption and survival.

“…Agriculture and Alaska: The Quest for Civilization While trapping and hunting were among the most conspicuous economic endeavors that had been carried out since 1867, alongside canneries, fisheries, and the mining industry, another instrument of Western settler colonialism had been quietly but surely gaining strength. Many wished to replicate what had been done across the lower forty-eight, especially in the West, where farmers and cattle ranchers conquered the frontier (see, e.g., Cronon 1991;Ogle 2013;Rifkin 1992;Worster 2004). This spatial, economic, and sociocultural process, which turned the land into a privately owned commodity, could be deployed through a subtle combination of biological, technological, financial, and legal instruments (see ibid.…”

This article explores the relationship between tax law and settler colonialism by looking at the ways in which taxes can be part of the “civilizing” process of Indigenous peoples. In 1921, the Territory of Alaska enacted a “license tax on the business of fur-farming, trapping and trading in pelts and skins of fur-bearing animals.” Since most trappers were Natives, the “fur tax” de facto targeted them. This article unpacks the sociocultural and political dimensions of the fur tax against the backdrop of Alaska’s settler colonial history. Despite what the Alaska attorney general claimed was its “strict” revenue-raising function, the tax was part of a much broader settler colonial agenda. That agenda sought to turn semi-nomadic, “uncivilized” Native hunters into spatially grounded, “civilized” farmers, gardeners, reindeer herders, or wage workers. Ultimately, I suggest, within many if not most settler colonial spaces political and sociocultural ideologies alter the initial revenue-raising function of taxes.
