Our friend Farm Sanctuary

Posted on March 30, 2012 by

I often meet artists who are passionate about animal causes, and I love introducing them to the animals who call Farm Sanctuary home. Over the last year or so, we’ve been especially fortunate to get to know filmmaker Liz Marshall, and I want to share her upcoming project, THE GHOSTS IN OUR MACHINE, with you. Ghosts, as we often call it, is a documentary that follows the work of photographer and animal advocate Jo-Anne (Jo) McArthur, and it features some Farm Sanctuary residents … – Susie Coston, National Shelter Director for Farm Sanctuary.

Media’s Animal Magnetism

Posted on February 27, 2012 by
Catherine Warren of the Huffington Post plugged our project, here’s an excerpt:
“The Ghosts in our Machine” will air on CBC’s Documentary channel in 2013 and has already launched a robust community website that aims to bridge the gaps between animal lovers, animal welfare advocates and animal rights activists. The film will highlight specific animals living inside or rescued from the machines of our modern world, in particular from food, clothing, biomedical research and entertainment. “Hidden within the shadows of industry are billions of animals used annually for human profit,” says Marshall, who is part of an emerging cadre of media producers shining a bright light on this concealed reality.

The moral conversation of the 21st century?

Posted on February 22, 2012 by
The Ghosts in Our Machine poses the moral question:
Are animals property to be owned and used, or are they sentient beings deserving of rights?Dolphins deserve rights . Kathryn Blaze Carlson  Feb 21, 2012 – 11:01 PM ET | The National Post

Dolphins and whales should be considered non-human “persons” with basic rights such as life, liberty and well-being, the world’s largest science conference heard in Vancouver. “Science has shown us that cetaceans have most, if not all, the characteristics that humans have, including intelligence, self-awareness, autonomy and social complexity,” said Lori Marino, one of four scientists who presented the Declaration of Rights for Cetaceans: Whales and Dolphins at the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting on the weekend … While the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vancouver generally supports the ethical treatment of animals, a spokesperson said conferring personhood on dolphins and whales distracts from larger rights-based issues. “I sometimes wonder whether we’ve got our priorities mixed up when we treat animals and the environment with more respect than human beings,” Paul Schratz said. “There are billions of people around the world who deserve our attention.”

Oxford Press. 1948

Sigfried Giedion’s extraordinary, encyclopedic book traces the various ways in which, for better and for worse, mechanization has assumed control of our lives, from modern systems of hygiene and waste management, to agricultural production, fashion, and beyond.
