No animal should ever be killed for a film

" It's like reading a history book and being constantly bummed out about slavery. Yes slavery is wrong, but it's not around anymore."
Oh how wrong you are about this one! Go pick up a book on the sex trade to get started -

why dont you carve out a hole in a tree and beep it. you people(including OP) are in need of a good slap in the face to make you realize what matters in the world. i bet you walk by homeless people and dont think twice about giving them change but an animal gets tortured (which has happened more or less for thousands of years) and your all offended. start giving a beep about what matters in the world rather than a buncha animals from 20 years ago

First of all, the animal was killed for ENTERTAINMENT what don't you understand about that? There is a difference between a predator attacking it's prey in the wild for survival and a human who is killing something not for survival but for the sick pleasure in knowing he can. Just because you CAN does not mean you SHOULD. It's called right and wrong.
Yes there are homeless people, but however they became homeless was not the result of somebody who made them that way for the purpose of exploiting it through film -

You give homeless people money you are simply enabling a bad lifestyle choice. The bulk of money will almost always go on booze or drugs.
We all make life choices one becoming more popular where I live is to stay on welfare and spend sunny afternoons camped out begging for a top up of the money that was already taken out of my pay check to support someone unwilling to contribute anything positive to society.
Giving money to shelters, food banks is another matter
And I would give money to organizations that help ANIMALS before I give money to help bums enjoy a free ride on societies back.
And yes, I have heard a lot of sob stories, often about people that just drink all day, stink up the street and try their best to ruin local businesses with their BS. -

"You should watch footage of animals being slaughtered for your consumption. Their deaths make the deaths of all the animals in C.H. look like strawberry ice cream with pretty sprinkles on top. I seen a video of a pig being slaughtered alive with a chainsaw, and let me just tell you, they didn't start with severing the head first. So the next time you want to complain about animal abuse in a movie that happened so long a go, you should visit your local slaughterhouse, stop eating meat and wearing leather, because that piece of meat or chicken you are eating most likely suffered way more that the animals in CH did."
Thank you krissy81. I love how people choose their anger. They are outraged that 20-30 years ago animals were killed in a movie but not outraged over the animals being tortured today before they are slaughtered.
Dirty night. -

Have you seen how they harvest the plants that you vegs eat. I mean who is to say they don't fell anything, they are alive aren't they?
The horror!!!!
We can all eat our veggies and wear pleather and be happy..
Don't know about you, but I do have four teeth that are used for tearing meat and I am gonna eat meat.
Don't bring up PETA either, they are the biggest liars of them all. How many animals do they kill a year?

Hahaha.
My opinion on this matter is that if you kill a living creature for food, you have to do it quick.
Anyone who tortures an animal because he understands that he can't be punished for that is a pathetic excuse for a human being.
He would do the same to fellow human if he knew he couldn't be punished.
What's funny is that in CH when animals are killed its "OMG WRONG", but if the crew told they ate them afterawards it's "Ooooh, ok then".That's hypocritical. -

Did you read that PDF you linked to? The animals that died were picked up as strays and died on the way to the clinic. Sometimes animals are so far gone (on the brink of death by starvation, dehydratedand you can't just give them water, you have to hook them up via IV to fluids) that they can't even last just the few remaining minutes to the hospital. If you've ever watched any pet cops shows on Animal Planet you'd know this.

If it's so acceptable to kill animals for entertainment, or you defend it because 'it's essential to the plot' then surely the logical progression of that argument is that human beings should be killed in the same way. Why just fake it because it's a human being? As for slaughtering for food, there are humane ways of killing animals, it doesn't have to be cruel and long-drawn out. Humans are actually meat-eating creatures, as are some animals, so are you saying that all living creatures should become vegetarians? I don't think my cats would live long on carrots, lettuce and potatoes. The fact is you do not have to kill animals for entertainment in any circumstances, just as you don't kill humans.

By using your own logic, one could argue "If it's so acceptable to kill animals for food, or you defend it because 'it's essential for nutritious needs' then surely the logical progression of that argument is that human beings should be killed in the same way."
Stop trying to define right and wrong in absolute terms. I'm no fan of animal cruelty on film myself, but the level of hypocrisy in this debate is astounding. -

I know abattoirs are no picnic but where they hell do they kill pigs with a chainsaw? I thought it was done with bolts or electricity. After that it is pretty messy (I've seen it on TV) but at least the bloody thing is dead by then.
Anyway this movie did remind me of hunting in many ways the animals didn't need to be killed it was done for entertainment whether they ate them afterwards or not. A crappy movie that didn't shock me half as much as I thought it would but made me wonder about the people involved. You would have to be either the most insensitive baboon on the planet or sick. -

I'm not sure about the chainsaw, but there was a VHS in the eighties making the rounds called True Gore that had a pig being burned with some kind of torch or some beep They would pause routinely and allow it to drink some water. It was pretty beep messed up. There was no point to it, it was just torture.
I think Monte Cazzaza was involved with that? Can't recall but I think it came out of the industrial music scene up near SF."It's better not to know so much about what things mean." David Lynch

You are one hell of a sick bastard to even consider watching anything like that.
I am NOT going to watch this 'Cannibal Holocaust' purely because of the idea of ripping up animals FOR THE AMUSEMENT OF AN AUDIENCE is one of the most inhumane and disgusting ideas ever thought of. I know this sort of stuff 'happens', but I try not to include my self in such vile acts of cruelty.
So enjoy your animal torture porn, but even thinking of typing into Google "Pig being killed by chainsaw" makes me feel ill, so no thanks to any of your ethics.
