“For too long, humans have seen animals (and most of nature) as resources for our convenience, pleasure and profit and not as an essential part of the biotic integrity of the earth. We will never be truly human nor have our human rights realized until we start to understand the rights of other species and truly ‘see’ the suffering of the animals we abuse every day. The rights of animals is the next frontier in the search for both justice and environmental sanity. I fully support the premise and integrity of Liz Marshall’s new and project THE GHOSTS IN OUR MACHINE.”
Warmly,
Maude
