    #ANIMALSWEREHARMED: the truth about the mistreatment of Hollywood's animal

    Have you ever seen the disclaimer "No animals were mistreated during the production of this film", which often appears in the credits? In the USA, the use of this formula is certified by the American Humane Association and is generally regarded as a guarantee for compliance with strict animal safety standards on set.

    Have you ever seen the disclaimer "No animals were harmed during the production of this film“, Which often appears in the credits? In the USA the use of this formula is certified by the American Humane Association and is generally regarded as a guarantee for compliance with strict safety standards animals on the set.



    But according to a long and very recent one investigation by The Hollywood Reporter things would not be quite like this: the AHA would have awarded the recognition to productions in which animals have been injured or killed, as dozens of evidence in possession of the editorial staff would testify. One case above all is that of the production of "The Hobbit".

    It seems that the shooting caused, in fact, the 27 horses died, not to mention goats, chickens and sheep: What caused death was not so much the particularly eventful scenes but, rather, the places and the unsuitable ways in which they were kept when they were not on set. But Peter Jackson, the director, and the production responded offended to PETA, which threatened demonstrations at the film's release: “The producers of The Hobbit take animal health very seriously and have always maintained the highest standard of care in their comparisons. All incidents have been investigated and dealt with with appropriate actions ".

    But there would be other episodes that ended up under the magnifying glass of the investigation. An internal Aha email describes, for example, an incident during the production of the Oscar-winning film "Life of Pi", in which the famous tiger used in the film "came damn close to drowning" during a take. In 2005, then, during the filming of Disney movie "8 Friends to Save" a handler would punch the dog that played the main role. But the film still received the “No animals were harmed” certification.

    Wounds also for the horses from the "Chronicles of Narnia", dead fish for "Pirates of the Caribbean" and, to top it off, a squirrel squirreled in "A casa con i Suoi". They are really all "special circumstances", how is the AHA justified?



    “Far be it from us to allow abuse or neglect to occur. We have a particularly high safety record of the 99,98 percent on the set. Over many years, despite our best efforts, there have occasionally been rare incidents, most of which are minor and unintentional. Unfortunately, there have also been some deaths, which greatly upset us, but in many of the reported cases, they had nothing to do with the treatment of the animals on set. They occurred when the animals were not under our care ", send to say the association to FoxNews.
