There are some sad animal cruelty stories out there: factory-farmed animals kept in cruel filthy conditions, senseless pain and death among horses forced to race, sick and abhorrent treatment of greyhound dogs, and the horrible live-skinning of many cows due to the twisted manner in which they operate slaughter-houses!
But this latest story is ridiculously obscene and senseless! As we are all aware, computer animation has come insanely far! The images are so life like, we can barely notice a difference between what is real and what is not.
I would hope this would end the need to put live animal "actors" in films any longer. Take for instance, chimpanzees. They are quite often ripped form the arms of their mothers in hopes of making them "actors" at a very very young age. This creates a fear of the unknown and developmental problems.
Then, so as to "teach" the chimp who is boss, they are beaten repeatedly throughout their lives from even two weeks old. Trainers,if you want to call them that, refer to this torture as "breaking their spirit".
Well, P.E.T.A, being aware of Warner Bros. intention to use a live chimp in the upcoming film SPEEDRACER, begged for them to reconsider this age-old cruel practice. And, believe it or not, the idiots in charge ignored the pleas for humanity. What assholes!!!
So, thanks to a whistle-blower on the set of the Warner Bros. film, P.E.T.A. was informed that the chimp was indeed beaten many times while filming. P.E.T.A. did their own investigation and was able to confirm the allegations to be true.
I implore you to ban SPEEDRACER. Rent the animated series and write to Warner Bros. expressing your refusal to see the film. Check out mote at www.PETA.com.
I'm disgusted and appalled. How can people keep breeding such ignorance and barbaric behaviors? Really now!
