Animals harmed in the making??


I'm certain that animals were killed or harmed in the scene where the zoo gets bombed.

My thoughts exactly when I saw this film. I am also pretty sure many animals were tortured to get those scenes made. This is quite disturbing and I am sorry that people think it is OK since many animals are being killed for other reasons anyway. Exploiting animals for entertainment is really horrible and should be abolished. There are many humane ways to involve animals in movies, or even better, use CGI instead of a real animal.

Oh, I forgot to mention there is a disclaimer saying that no animal were hurt during the production of this film. I wonder if it %100 true...

Kill babies but get your panties in a wad over some dead chickens, goats or whatever. WTF do you care? Someone will be around to pick them up and have them for dinner.

Not as I see it. About the worst animal harm I saw was when the Marko character briefly used a cat to polish his shoes. That cat ought to sue!
