No animals were harmed during the making of this movie except....

Hanks is a member of the Illuminati. They wiped all mention of the story from the internet.

I guess that's possible.

The most disturbing fact about the ox slaughtering-scene in Apocalypse Now is the fact that Coppola had a truckload of them oxens chopped to bits with machetes. Thats deplorable, but he was probably on the verge of meltdown at that point anyway

"There was a film in the late 1930s where some horses died-after that was when they got the laws."It was Charge of the Light Brigade.In the final battle, like 100+ horses were killed

(Though the one in Flicka sounds more like an accident than actual abuse)

Bump. This is quiet topical right now. PETA's views. http://www.peta.org/issues/animals-in-entertainment/animal-actors.aspxLatest actual news. http://news.ninemsn.com.au/entertainment/2012/11/20/03/00/hobbit-animals-died-on-unsafe-farmSeems like another beat up for media attention by PETA.

[baumer]

This is not PETA looking for attention. They are trying to help animals, you know, the ones that have no voice.

PETA does too much crazy shit for me. Anytime they take up completely ridiculous causes it does no good for any REAL animal rights work that they or anyone else does.The ASPCA or Humane Society show that you can fight for the rights of animals without seeming or acting like lunatics.

I didn't read all of the stories but the one in Stagecoach with the horses...fucking hell they are some twisted pieces of shit out there.Here's the thing about doing it for "art", if you cannot think of another way to show what you want to be shown, you're not being artistic and it's not for art- it's pure laziness and shock value. Another way of saying hacks masquerading as auteurs. Don't see why jail terms shouldn't be out of order when the same people who engage in cockfighting and animal abuse get sent to court.
