Are movies aloud to actually kill animals?
I was recently watching ‘White Squall’ and in the movie a boy spears a dolphin and its fatal. I was wondering if they actually speared the dolphin, because it looked fairly real. And I am a big animal activist, so i really need to know. thank you

If no animals were harmed they usually say it
But in that aussie movie with a talking pig
about 30 piglets were supposed to have died

The reality is that the movie is more important than the animals
And i am sure they lie at times ,about no animals being harmed
it would not do to upset their public

Lorraine K,What is this thing with Americans not harming animals
watch Earthlings for the truth

In America Hunting ,factory farms ,battery chickens and much more is allowed
in the Netherlands it is NOT
your animals rights is very little and very selective.

They usually state"no animals were harmed in the making of this movie" somewhere in the ending credits.

No animal rights like PETA are always on the scene.
If you read the credits at the end of a movie it always says-No animals were harmed in the making of this movie.
They just have very good camera trickery.

If the movie was made by an American company, no animals were harmed. Foreign film makers, I’m not so sure. The AMMP has guidelines for animal treatment and they are pretty stringent, so that should hopefully put your mind at ease.

mosquitoes

NOOOO Hun, its called holly wood. Do you think the Grinch is real to just because he looks real? of coarse not! like in Marley in me it is sad, but #1 its not a real shot, #2 right after they say cut, the dog/animal jumps down and gets treats!

Heh… they can’t have. That’s just… absurd! Why would they spear a dolphin for just one part of the movie? Isn’t that illegal? Well, it should be if it isn’t.

Hey kid. Those are real fish being killed on the fishing channel. And yes those are real deer being killed by huthers on the outdoors channel.

You have grown up in a city where everything is available at a grocery store. You "big animal activists" stick your noses into our lives and we dont appreciate it. Try living it personally but dont be an "activist" or someone is going to get hurt.

no there’s usually an animal trainer or someone close by to make sure its not harmed

Hunting movies do. If you care don’t support that movie by watching it. I don’t care so I can watch it.

that’s hollywood effects my dear, they have that slogan "no animals are harmed while filming this movie" and they are not allowed to kill those animals especially a dolphin so i guess not you can rest your worries
