Don't actually watch too many movies in general, but after Bea's interesting comment about the use of animals in dialogue, scenes and locations I will now be paying much more attention when I do! <br /><br />I would hope that in most cases scenes of animal use/abuse (like the turkey farm in The Pledge) Have Gone Veganhttp://www.havegonevegan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688566476953748496.post-12934370958601532202011-09-24T07:42:55.524-05:002011-09-24T07:42:55.524-05:00Thank you Bea for commenting.

It probably is so omnipresent because we know on some level it is wrong and inaccurate. If we just keep on telling ourselves the opposite maybe the repeated telling will make it true.

The scene with the murdered deer - given back his life was worth the whole film! <br /><br />But you bring up some interesting things about how artists express themselves in words, or scenes... Especially in movies I'm keenly aware of the sets they use and why.<br /><br />For instance, if there is no purpose or relevancy toBea Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13981537551810309024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688566476953748496.post-14492535503910303872011-09-22T22:13:11.948-05:002011-09-22T22:13:11.948-05:00I'm also glad I found your blog.

I think humans are the only species that could disappear from the Earth without any negative impact. In fact, I imagine the Earth would breathe a sigh of relief.<br /><br />I feel mostly hopeless about the way humans treat animals, joan.kylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015342608992682333noreply@blogger.com
