Why are "animal rights" people such dishonest, unethical fanatics?


So the animal rights nuts are passing judgement without the facts and lying on IMDB to trash the rating of the film without ever having seen it. They do the same for Yelp ratings of small businesses that are accused, not found guilty or even charged, with the same. They have zero credibility with me. PETA is trying to extort a large donation from the producers. Youtube vloggers are trying to make a small fortune off the ads on their vlog with the faked video with its faked audio and edited out video. follow the $$$$$$$

An investigation concluded no harm came to the dog in that video. The video was spliced together to make it look worse than it was. It was blown out of proportion. "People on set even confirmed after the swimming scene the pup wanted to get right back in the water and was wagging his tail — in fact he was chosen for the stunt specifically because of his love of water. Even better, the dog was visited by a vet recently and was confirmed to be in perfect health." - via American Humane

I'm not an animal rights nut.. i'm a danish filmmaker and i can tell you this much... if you use animals this way on the set in DK, the movie will be shut down instantly.. i dont care who shut this video and i dont care about the audio.. just use your eyes.... the dog is forced.

reply

It's not always good to trust your eyes when a video isn't telling the whole truth.

reply

one thing is for sure. The dog is forced in the water and that's enough to shut the whole production down...

reply

But the dog wasn't forced into the water.

Um yes it was *beep* Watch the god damn video

Das me Soda Popinski

You know, it's never a good thing to show what an ignorant *beep* you are online. You should perhaps stop doing it.

PETA are crazy-eyed fanatics who want to take your pets, your meat, your eggs, and your cheese away. Raving idiots who go ballistic over a movie as if a dog had been killed, when it was only tossed into a pool. You should see my dog's misery whenever it's bath time. PETA heads would explode if they got hold of video of that monthly tragedy.
