if it involves a animal
getting hurt that's ok

but when it involves a kid being taken apart then that's
all together a whole different story.

Well like you said
Its only a Movie no one is really getting hurt :)

Ya see the point is pretty much the same when you think about it
Just as there are no people that would want to see a Kid taken apart,Tthere are those of us that feels the same way when it comes to seeing animals harmed for absolutely no other reason then just cause the writer decides to make hid villain more despicabale and evil.

I'd be fine with both. Look at Battle Royale or the original Assault on Preceinct 13. Kids die too, even in movies.

If we took out everything that offended everybody, then there wouldn't be any movies to watch, don't you think?

But goodness knows I am one of the biggest supporters of cute animals here. I respect all the squirrels, rats, cats, bunnies and dogs in the world.

And you can't get more cute than this:

Again, to give you the benefit of the doubt, ill assume you are just being argumantative for the sake of discusiion....

the idea IS to get you upset.Everyone should, on some level, get pissed off when an animal character is harmed in a movie. Animals are innocents, unless they happen to be the villain themselves. in many cases, they go the animal route because it is just as evil as harming a kid, but less overall upsetting to some degree. (in general)

BUT, the idea is to get you riled up. Hell, in the Rod Warrior, i dont know a single person who car3ed what happened to the weirtd little wolf kid (or maybe Dingo Kid, it was australia..), btu when the dog was killed, people were out for blood. i had one friend who came completely unglued.

Now, a couple more points:

To reiterate, they arent really hurting a living being, it is a not-real character. Yes, animals can be characters too. A tree is character given the right context (there's that "c" word again...)

Second, if the artificial, not real and totally fake animal cruelty in mvoes disturbs you that much, i woudll recommend:

A) Watching mosstly old Disney movies, but not lassie or fox and the hound.

B) Find the number of a good therapist and have some long loong talks about your feelings.

Okay, i have been holding off on asking this but....


You dont support or belong to PETA do you, Methen?

Of course, you ghave (at this point) 5 posts to your name, and you are already getting snippy, so i will assume that your are either someone who usually post here under another name being an ass, or sommeone who joins forums to shart shit.

Please prove me wrong on both.

I've grew up watching Tom & Jerry, Bugs Bunny and countless 80's catoons that where violent. I've never once hurt or killed an animal, in fact I'm a vegetarion. Are you? If not, animals die for you every day. I don't care if you are or not and I'm not trying to preach, but it seems a little bit hypocritical to worry about animals that die in movies(even though they don't really die, there are strick rule about these things), then go out and have a hamburger.
I'm always amazed at things like this, as the brutal death of people is fine, but a dog...

I'm a vegetarion. Are you?
( Yes I am:)
