The American Humane Association doesn’t monitor the conditions of animals off the set, and training is when abuse is most likely to occur. If you care about animal rights you should boycott any movie that features wild animals as actors, because even if the animal wasn't harmed during filming you don't know the animal's living conditions, level of veterinary care, or what it was subjected to during training. Exactly, we don't know the animal's living conditions, level of veterinary care, or what it was subjected to during training, so why should we boycott any film that features a wild animal as an actor? |

So, what about the American Humane Society for the Ethical Treatment of Mankind? (AHSETH)

The reason it doesn't mean anything is that for any movie ever, the moment the actors and crew get together for lunch, more animals are harmed on their plates than any and all animals anyone can possibly harm for the actual movie itself. |

So, what about the American Humane Society for the Ethical Treatment of Mankind? (AHSETH) As a matter of fact the AHA originally existed for two reasons--nonhuman animals and children. But it is corrupt. I love how the people pulled a fast one on that recent Spielberg-produced movie and released the behind the scenes footage right before release. Spielberg already got around AHA sanction when a horse died on a film of his and they covered it up. Payback SS! Been vegan for decades BTW-that still doesn't excuse animal abuse on a movie set. It would make as much sense as saying a random homicide is permissible because there is a war happening somewhere. "Man is the Reasoning Animal. Such is the claim. I think it is open to dispute. Indeed, my experiments have proven to me that he is the Unreasoning Animal. Note his history, as sketched above. It seems plain to me that whatever he is he is not a reasoning animal. His record is the fantastic record of a maniac. I consider that the strongest count against his intelligence is the fact that with that record back of him he blandly sets himself up as the head animal of the lot: whereas by his own standards he is the bottom one." Mark Twain |

I used to date a vegetarian that had an annoying habit of nagging any and everyone if they were eating meat or talking about hunting or bbqing etc... We often went to concerts together and I would always stop at Waffle House afterwards and would always order the chicken and eggs plate. I would always make the same hilarious comment too. "I love eating chicken and eggs because I get to eat the entire life cycle of a chicken." The waitress and anyone with us would always laugh. My vegetarian girlfriend never did.
Some people have no sense of humor, right? |

Do they count the cows, pigs and chickens butchered so that the cast members can fill their bellies with their dead flesh?
