El análisis demuestra que la ILE adapta su narrativa a las preocupaciones actuales relacionadas con la ciencia, salud, medio ambiente y bienestar animal, al mismo tiempo que los contradicen. Destaca la negación de los intereses de los animales explotados por sus segregaciones maternas a través de una representación que les cosifica y obvia su capacidad de sintiencia, autonomía e individualidad.
To achieve this, the EDI is examined as an economic and influential actor, in order to identify the main companies and pressure groups, and the discourse that the latter construct with respect to the animals that the industry exploits, the cows, and to the nutritional recommendations that end up in the dietary guidelines.
Through documentary analysis and critical discourse analysis, it is concluded that the dairy industry constitutes an economic and corporate framework that dedicates a great effort to exert influence on food recommendations. The analysis shows that the EDI interest groups have adapted their narrative to the current values of concern for science, health and even animal welfare, while contradicting them.
Outstanding among the contradictions is the denial of the interests of animals exploited by their maternal segregations through a representation that objectifies them and obviates their capacity for sentience, autonomy and individuality.
Por otro lado, buscamos comprender cómo en los mataderos se gestan formas de existencia social en el proceso de transformación de los otros animales a través de marcos teóricos contemporáneos, sobre por qué se ha hecho que sus vidas no merezcan ser lloradas (Butler, 2010) y la potencialidad de la agencia de los animales (Hribal, 2014).
