One of those will probably be me. If any one of those assholes try to get in the way of me seeing that movie, I will personally hold them down and beat them to a pulp.dragongit said:
Wranglers: Hobbit Production Responsible for 27 Animal Deaths
- Thread starter The Wooster
- Start date
PETA is in the right on this one, these deaths were avoidable and the fact that they didn't prevent the deaths in the first place is reason enough to protest it. If a movie costs innocent lives the movie should never even be released.
If it were almost anyone other than PETA, it would be much easier to work up some indignation. Sure, I'm not for unnecessary animal deaths, but PETA's very presence all but ascertains that something is being blown way out of proportion.
What I really want is for PETA and the Westboro Baptist Church to get on opposite sides of an issue and then irritate each other until heads start spontaneously exploding. Preferably someplace where they have to do their own clean-up.

PETA will be wearing skimpy chainmail bikinis though, and those give as much protection as full plate armour.dragongit said:
As soon as I finished reading the paragraph were PETA decides to go ahead and protest (even if Jackson adopted three pigs after the incidents), I couldn't help but remember this web comic:

I honestly want them to protest at my cinema as I plan to go to that premiere with friends and would love to flip them off for their trouble. It's the little things in life.
Too little too late for PETA to protest? The animals aren't being kept on the farm anymore and it's not like they continued to ignore the problem. Besides it's just a bunch of farm animals, hardly any reason to lose sleep over, so saying the movie should never be released because 27 of them died is rather ridiculous.Xan Krieger said:
...And not a single fuck was given from me. And how are these guys are going to get away with arguing this? Seems like they lost all cred they had a while back... (I've never heard of these guys.)
I find it funny that PETA's solution is to use CGI animals. It seems more humane to film animals on the set than to stick them in front of a green screen and coax them to make the desired movements. Besides, the problem was on the farm, not the set, so CGI wouldn't accomplish anything...
Unless every movie studio has been working on an extensive CGI database that perfectly models the movement of every muscle of every living thing ever.

Ignoring an arbitrary link of proof [http://www.petakillsanimals.com/downloads/PetaKillsAnimals.pdf], these are my exact thoughts.Tanis said:
PETA has absolutely no ground to complain if a mere 20-some animals die by accident when they actively kill over hundreds each year.
oh noo animals ran off a hill and into the sea lets all cry that sort of thing happens every day and its unreasonable to expect the farmer fence kilometres and kilometres of impassable terrain rather than being reasonable and expecting animals to have at least some sense of self-preservation
its not like there are shotguns attached to tripwires and pressure plates all over the farm
sure the deaths may have been "avoidable" but is that avoidable in reality or in fantasy? farmers hate stock going over cliffs cause they cost thousands each but you have to weigh the cost benefits of the actions rather than bowing to the long haired dole bludging hippy types

Judging by what's being protested- The best you'll likely get is paralized naked chicks... I don't think they'll have many of those either.tredien said:
Maybe they'll torture people in public, if you're lucky.
Why can't there be moar pro carnivor activisties so we can get moar vegan nude chicks?
