Summary/Abstract: Theorized by Jason Moore and Andreas Malm, the concept of “the Capitalocene” describes the exploitative metabolic acceleration of value extraction during the industrial production of the modern era. Capitalocene meat is one of the most urgent problems humanity currently faces. 62% of planetary mammal biomass is now livestock. In conclusion, the vegan poetics of Reines and Gudding reject and resist the carnophallogocentric production of subjecthood via normative meat consumption, as well as the image regimes that naturalize Capitalocene meat.
