“Animals have been a part of my life for many years and I’m always in awe of what they offer to the human spirit. To my spirit. We have them in our homes, on our plates, our backs, and the use of their bodies for the medical and beauty industries. If you can apply any of the above to your list then perhaps by learning the methods of how all these pleasures and needs come to be we may just want to voice our concerns for the humane treatment of animals whose lives have been used and taken for our benefit. I buy skin and makeup products that I know are to be vegan based. I won’t purchase or wear fur. I totally support and applaud the making of THE GHOST IN OUR MACHINE. It takes courage to witness the abuses and compassion for the need to reach others.”
Best Wishes,
Alberta Watson
