‘Stupid Pet Tricks’ on the Big Screen?
About Michael Wilmington’s Oct. 25 review of “The Bear”: As if director Jean-Jacques Annaud wasn’t cruel enough to animals by making this movie, now Wilmington has the gall to say good things about it!
When I first saw the preview for this movie, I was furious that such a thing could be produced in a time when many of us are striving to protect animals.
This is a film in which a bear cub, in the name of “entertainment,” must scale a cliff wall and fall into rushing rapids. You may argue that it is a controlled environment, being a film set, but I doubt that the animals know this.
I hope that people will see beyond the “cute” advertisements and will boycott this movie and any others abusing animals.
