This analysis considers how education positioned at the intersections of literature and nature can help expose and confront the violence of animal agriculture. To do so, it extends from field research in London, Canada, with children who discursively and materially engaged with the story Charlotte's Web through guided walks in an altered landscape. Once farmland and now a rapidly declining forest behind their school, this sociohistorical space is home to lingering remnants of an animal agricultural past that evoke the pastoral imagery of the novel. In combination with a place-based lens that recognizes settler-colonial agrarian legacies, the animals and interspecies relations of Charlotte's Web offer an invitation into seeing and empathizing with farmed animals, both past and present. This analysis traces theoretical and pedagogical pathways that challenge embedded anthropocentrism and promote diverse subjective engagements with the multispecies world. Together, Indigenous ways of knowing, relational ontologies, and Derrida's notion of hauntology can help illuminate an ethically and environmentally engaged literacy education within the Anthropocene
