It's the 21st century. We have special effects. We have CGI. We have animatronics. Most importantly we have something called "tact". There is no longer any reason to slaughter animals on screen (as if there ever was).
Wake up, director. On-camera animal slaughter is a shameful thing of the past, like the racial and sexist stereotyping of the 50s. We just don't do it any more. Humans have (tried to) evolve.
Even Takashi Miiake, gore-slasher-director-extraordinnaire, knows how to show us blood and guts without killing anything. It's called creativity. Watch "The Bird People of China" for one of the most dramatic, disturbing animal slaughter scenes on celluloid--ALL SIMULATED. Got it?
And right, 80% of you are sitting there with your finger up your nose saying, "Big deal. Animal slaughter happens every day." Yes, it does, but not in the name of "art/entertainment". Humans kill for a lot of stupid reasons. But in the last 50 years, most of us have realized that "art/entertainment" is not a valid reason to take a life.
OK, there's my sermon. Now 80% of you boobs may click on the "did not find this helpful" button and go watch your stupid movie. You guys are so predictable. But the 20% of folks who have some sense of spiritual perspicacity will probably be relieved not to have wasted any time on this disgusting tosh.
