would it be okay if the donkey was killed in a humane way and his meat fed to people? And if that still isn't okay, are all of you who think it isn't vegetarian? If not, how do you think the meat you buy gets to the butcher shop, it just grows on trees to be harvested? Lots of hypocrisy in this, especially since the animal was killed in accordance to Swedish law (humanely slaughtered the same way our meat we get from the butcher is by a veterinarian on set) The only troubling thing I can think of is if the animal was killed and then discarded, however if the animal was consumed than any non vegetarian would be a hypocrite to have a problem with this

If I had the choice of being killed quietly 4 weeks from now OR being killed in a Lars Von Trier film 3 weeks from now, I'd choose to be in the film.
Then at least I'd be remembered by thousands of people and I would have contributed to a great work of art so my death wouldn't have been for nothing. -

Are all of you seriously believing the this without an actual source being cited? Do your own research and come to your own conclusion. Don't quote something as fact just because someone said it on the internet. Hint: For fun, try to find 'proof' that the donkey was set of fire. It doesn't exist. That's how rumors get started.

the donkey was killed humanely in accordance to Swedish law by a veterinarian to ensure it was done properlyThe only issue anybody can have over this in my estimation (unless you are vegetarian, in which case you can walk the walk on this issue and are genuine in your abhorrence for this behavior) is if it came out that the donkey was killed and then left without being consumedIf you take an animals life, I believe it should be to feed your self and others, but to take the life and just discard it would be a sin IMOso it depends, did they eat the donkey or not?

Why are people making a big deal about a dead animal? We eat animals all the time anyway, who cares why it was killed? John C is being a pussy about this.

A: "We eat animals all the time" - No, "we" don't.
B: "who cares why it was killed?" - Well OP obviously cares and so do i, so that makes at least two of us

But executive producer PETER AALBAEK JENSEN defends, "The donkey was old, sick and was going to be put to sleep. Its life was prolonged by two weeks. A vet put the animal to sleep off set and in accordance with Swedish laws."

Are people just ignoring all the posts that explain that essentially all Lars Von Trier did was film a dead donkey. He didn't kill it. A vet did, The vet was going to kill it anyway, because the Donkey was dying. Then the filmed scene wasn't used.
Out of curiosity how many of you people own a fur coat, or a leather jacket, or a leather sofa. We're not cave men anymore you don't need that fur coat for warmth. You could buy another sofa. But you like that ones because it looks cool or is comfortable, you are quite happy to eat and wear and sit on dead animals. But a dying animal is filmed for the purposes of a film and That's too far. You're all beep mad!!!!!
I Sympathise with Lars Von Trier.
