Yeah, how many of us go to fancy restaurants for the sake of entertainment? There's a mongolian restaurant here in Glasgow that serves things such as zebra and kangaroo. Is THAT justified? Oh, we're happy to chomp on the flesh of these animals on a daily basis but killing one for art is wrong?

You realize the reason he probably intentionally had the donkey killed was because he didn't have the budget for realistic effects?
All of you "omg I will not see this movie because of this" need to grow a set of balls and think realistically for a second. Go back to Michael Bay and his cgi ridiculousness if real filmmaking is too much for you to handle. -

If he wanted to film his script in the first place, he should have worked around it. It's not that he didn't have the budget he didn't have the TALENT, period. By doing that, Von Trier is just as much a hack as Bay is. -

The donkey had faith? OH! its FATE was the samedeath! Ya, you betcha.
But to be immortalized in crazy humans' films is another kind of myth altogether than plain old death, we like to imagine.
(I say it's deathperiodand I say to hell with it!)
Donkey's don't need to be consulted in this lifetime. Next rotation we'll be asses and they'll be human, with very little difference as a result -

I think John C. Reilly is a fine actor. If he decided not to participate in this movie because he was honestly upset with what happened, I fully respect that. However if he quit only because he didn't want to receive "bad press" from the US media, then I'm agree with whoever said that he's just a pussy.

That doesnt make it right. Thats how it starts and its a slippery slope. And he was within his right to do so under the laws of the country but still it just feels like the wrong thing to do.
BTW Reilly is a veg, so I am sure that had everything to do with it.

During the 60's and 70's people sat in their living room, eating dinner and watching television In the TV they saw countless innocent people and soldiers get killed in the Vietnam war These people said to them selves "how horrible just horrible Can you hand me some more veal, darling?"
Then two Danish artists slaughtered a horse, filmed it, canned its guts in jars and showed the whole thing on TV. The public went berserk, demanding them to be put in jail, fined and all How horrifying! it was just a completely innocent horse HOW COULD THEY!!!???
