Regarding horses being trip-wired, try this scene:
http://www.imdb.com/board/10080855/board/thread/30576690
. Michael Cimino denies it to this day, but there it is in full color, and you can judge for yourself. (You'll need the 220 minute version.)
BTW: It's possible that horse was actually trip-wired in
California
, instead of Montana. I can't confirm that (stumbled across it on the net by accident) and that's
only
a guess, but it would explain a lot of things. -

I heard that in some biography that that horse in Jessie James actually landed on some platform, but I do not know if it is true or not. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_James_(1939_film)#Animal_cruelty

Yeah the ole trip wire was a disgusting idea and easily spotted when used. I have worked many years of my life on cattle ranches and never have seen anything remotely close to that happeningOnly in Hollywood

What a sick bunch of "film makers" to do this to real horses. I'm glad i've never seen this piece of crap now, and i never will.
So glad they can't get away with this sort of things these days. Pathetic people. -

I'm sorry, but that's ridiculous. I'm not condoning the actions of the filmmakers, mind you, but Heaven's Gate is an underrated film that is already unfairly maligned enough without people like yourself who have never seen the film speaking poorly of it.

Can anyone see the difference between 'Humanely killing an animal for food under sterile conditions' and 'Killing an animal INHUMANELY to appease the inflated ego of a a two bit director intent on sucking up as much studio money as he canfor his art?'
Anyone? -

Let me guess.
STERILE CONDITIONS: Conditions preventing HUMANS from being exposed to any possibly harmful (to HUMANS) bacteria which were released as a result of the DEATH of an ANIMAL.
HUMANELY: According to terms that HUMANS have agreed on to be not cruel so they can KILL an ANIMAL and not feel bad about it. I guess it's meant to replace the phrase "slaughtered like an animal"?
Phuck the bio industry. I respect anyone's choice if they choose to eat meat, I myself haven't touched it in 4 and a half years. -

he'd eat you and everyone you care about!!!

Wow, brilliant logic! You base your moral compass on what wild animals do? OK So why aren't you eating your children alive? Crapping in the woods? Cleaning your testicles with your tongue? Tearing out your neighbor's throat with your bare teeth to claim his wife? Consuming raw feces?
Oh, wait, you don't do those things? Why then do you justify your diet on the same criteria? I was under the insane impression that humans have a larger brain capacity and an ability to empathize and understand external pain. Odd.
Let me guess your reasoning: convenience, gastronomic preference, and a disdain for moral responsibility. Much easier to blame than to own up to consistency. If the dog does it, so will I!
