“Animals are our conduits to a greater, kinder and more spiritual realm, yet society treats them like pieces of property to be used and expended at will. Those large university buildings that stand with intensity, hide behind their dark exterior something even darker…. The cries of stolen, lonely and tortured animals who live lives of horror that most people will never even know about. The beautiful facade of happy animals on farms hide behind them lives of neglected and abused animals who suffer and die for “food”. The fraud goes on…THE GHOSTS IN OUR MACHINE will reveal what is behind these hidden realms, in order that society can finally see that these magnificent animals continue to be used for human greed and entertainment. That their hidden world benefitting humans should be revealed and finally put to an end.”
