In a 1939 film called Jesse James there is a scene in which a horse and rider jump off a cliff into a river. In the next shot, rider and horse are shown swimming in the river. If you were to look very closely you might notice that the horse in the river is not the same horse that jumped off the cliff. That's because that horse died in the fall. Out of this tragic event came the American Humane Association's film and tv unit. When you see the sentence "No animals were harmed in the making of this film" that means that the AHA gave their approval of the animal usage in the film. I agree with the AHA's philosophy on using and portraying animals in films. It's alright, as long as the animals are treated well. How the animals are portrayed is completely up to the film-makers. That's freedom of speech. In The Ghost and the Darkness lions are portrayed as ferocious man-eaters. Is it wrong to portray them that way? I don't believe so. It's evident to me that the animals used in this, and most North American productions are treated very well.
