animal cruelty in this one(dog) and hens get killed (for real)

I came here to say exactly that. Killing for food (which is real) is not animal cruelty.

Give me a freaking break.

"you don't mind stuffing your face with KFC, but just don't show you how that chicken gets cooked on camera. also, we can show people gutted, heads blown off, spewing bile from the mouth and worse on screen, but you complain when shown the aftermath of a sci-fi version of a dog fight... "

Lol! How the hell do you know who eats KFC on here?! And as far I'm concerned, I'd rather see stupid people blowing each other to bits than an innocent dog! Stop with the name calling!

I don't think you should speak to your friend that way.

I mean, I assume the OP is your friend, right? That's how you know they're not a vegetarian and are constantly stuffing their face with KFC?

How many times does this have to be explained to people like you? Dear god, you come on going, "WAAT, U NOT UPSET ABOUT PPL BUT U R ANIMALS LOLOL WAT!" and you actually think you've got the logical and rational high-ground. You don't. Here are only a few reasons why your dumb mocking of people who are concerned for animals is dumb:

One: A person in a movie is a paid actor/extra. If a PERSON is screaming as someone guts them, you can be pretty sure they are acting. If a dog is yelping or screaming as someone guts them, you're not entirely sure if the dog is acting are you? Because it's a dog after all, and scumbag humans don't value them and don't mind hurting them for effect. They could actually BE hurting that dog, for "art." Additionally, the dog can't go to a lawyer afterwards and have you sued because you abused it during filming, because it can't speak. This is reason one it is reasonable to worry about animals in films.

Two: I haven't watched the movie yet myself, but Wikipedia says parts of it were filmed in Jordan. I'm pretty sure it's illegal for them to murder people for movie-making, but animals? Taking into account that their cruelty-to-animal standards may not be all that great, it's completely rational to be worried that animals in the movie may ACTUALLY be getting harmed or killed. This is reason two it is reasonable to worry about animals in films.

Three: As a human being with feelings, it makes complete sense to just be more concerned overall in reality with an animal's well-being than a person's. This is a person's world. We made it and we understand it. Animals however don't, for the most part. A bird can understand and try to avoid getting hunted by a cat or a bigger bird (and this is why the "YOU EAT KFC DON'T YOU?" argument from the other idiot is invalidated: We are predators), but it can't be expected to understand that if it stands on a seemingly-harmless exposed wire it will die of electrocution. So it makes sense to feel bad if animals are hurt or abused in our world, because it is an unfair one, and humans generally have a thing about fairness in our thinking, rational minds. (Not you apparently, but most people.)

We've bred all their natural instincts out of them to be fearful of us and instead made it so that we (their predators) are trustworthy caretakers to them. Thus when we take that trust and abuse it (hurting and murdering a domesticated dog or cat or pig, etc.), it is far more tragic and dishonorable than it is hurting another human, who can see and understand such betrayal and even expect or protect themselves from it.

Do you think it's worse in movies to see a child, or someone mentally retarded perhaps, abused by a more-intelligent adult than it is to see an adult hurting a regular adult? I would think so. I mean for most people anyway. The child or mentally-handicapped person can't understand or quantify it, and so the act is more vicious and evil than it might regularly be. That's the same reason people doing crap things to animals is often much more horrific and evil than it is people doing crap things to people. It's unfair, it's dishonorable.

The fact that you couldn't come to any of these conclusions by yourself doesn't say much for your standards.
