    Who can forget the buffalo which had it's throat slit at the end of 'Apocalypse Now'.

    Who says that wasn't artistic?

    I dont think a case can be made for justifying animal cruelty in the name of art.

    They blew up a real live horse with dynamite for a scene in Heaven's Gate. That was as late as 1979 and was what arguably started the whole PETA involvement with Hollywood studios.

    As long as the cast and crew sat down to a hearty buffalo stew afterwards, I don't see the issue.

    Meh, you seem to be semi trolling, but if it isnt necessary i dont see the point.

    It just seems a bit retarded inflicting pain on an animal when its not required. Each to their own however.

    ...In the making of this motion picture. This tag is at the end of every movie made now a days, But my ponderence of this is why does it not say no humans were harmed are we not as important as animals? Why dont we get a special mention at the end credits.
    Another thing in the making of The Game of Thrones a scene where a horse gets its head lamped off and Peta :rolleyes: complained... but there are hundreds of humans are slain in the most awful ways.

    So why are animals more important than humans?

    Pretty much because there are alot of as*holes out there.
    Theres alot of animal rights extremists who even take an issue to an animal being killed on camera (while being perfectly safe and unharmed) like the perfect peta example you mentioned... :rolleyes:

    Just as*holes who need to cop on to themselves.
