I saw this movie when it first came out as well, and to be honest I thought it was good, as I assumed none of the animals were hurt in this film and were trained actors, but I did not give it a lot of thought, I understand what you are saying cass, and to a point I agree with you, no animal should be put in danger or hurt just to make a film and satisfy human beings for entertainment,, I would be the first one to be up in arms if that were the case.

Researching it fully is probably a good idea, I would be interested to see just how all the scenes were made, I often wonder about that, and again assume half of it is not real etc etc, but who really knows except those in the movie at the time.

There is nothing wrong with showing your emotions concerning the care and welfare of animals cass, it is people like you who get things done and changed so our animals can live good lives without abuse, so if you feel strongly enough about it, stand up and say so.

I certainly hope you are proved wrong, and these animals did not suffer in any way during the making of this film, if they did I too would be throwing it in the trash, as a protest if nothing else.

Now calm down cass and take a deep breath count to ten and smile, and thanks for bringing this to our attention, gives one something to think about doesn't it?
