Yes I would. I've seen movies that have featured acts of cruelty to humans.

I don't know. That's a tough one. If it was just some stupid horror flick no. If it was a documentary type then probably.

Five words: "Hell NO. No f**king way." There's enough trash in this world to look at as it is. I'm not about to deliberately watch even more. Interesting question, keithold. Thank you for the opportunity to mini-rant, lol.

What, like one of those PETA movies? "Know what you eat?" I will answer this question as if you meant a PETA movie. Sorry, I would decline. I understand that crazy things are done to get meat on my dinner table, and I'm all for animals living good lives and having painless deaths, but in my opinion, God gave us many of the good creatures of the Earth to feed us with in addition to companionship. For many animals, that is their primary purpose. So until the geneticists figure out how to grow beef on trees, we have to accept that animals have to die to permit the society we live in. Killing animals is tough, but it is a necessary evil unless you want your main course running around on your plate. I think PETA likes to exploit the squeamish in its heartfelt but impractical call for a society where we do not have to kill animals to serve our society. Perhaps I am grossly misinformed about PETA. But I am one of those squeamish people who have ever only seen short clips of PETA films.

nope and the aspca would shut it down

No that would not spark an interest with me at all.

I have Amorres Perros... that is an amazing film feature ing vicious dog-fighting... I have no more problem seeing animals get hurt as people... but i do have reservations about actual harm/non-simulated cruelty... that is my line, with both people and animals... (excluding documentaries)

No, and I would boycott it.

Yes

Not intentionally, but that message "no animals were injured in the making of this movie" comes up at the end, so it's a bit hard to boycott a movie because Lassie Mk12 got backed over by a truck. I presume that if some animal WAS accidentally injured that they would just omit the message.

No. It's not really my idea of entertainment. I would also not usually go to movies featuring acts of cruelty to humans (Saw movies, slasher flics, etc..)

What? like Tom and Jerry? or Wild E Coyote and the Road Runner?

NO

No, even if it's not actual harm just pretence, it's too disturbing. Anyone who says they actually enjoy films of actual cruelty would seriously worry me....

No. I find acts of cruelty to people more entertaining.

not intentionaly. Id much rather go to a film and watch a persons head be blown off there shoulders. we as humans have skrewed up the earth enough as it is and i guess what im saying we all (including myself no specail exception for the slef) need to die, or leave, or become nomads...unless in a documentary, animal vilence is wrong, if that is, if it is caused by a human interference.

Sure, You should watch the movie Gummo.

Since humans are animals also, I would say yes. Cruelty in a horror movie sort of goes with the territory. Since humans are animals I must say yes.

No,what for?

Yeah, I think so. As long as it wasn't a documentary or something. If I knew it was fake, I wouldn't have a problem with it.

No, I won't even go to the circus because of the way they treat the animals.

No

No thank you. I don't like any kinds of cruelty, animal or people. I don't like it even in cartoons. I would never want to fill my mind with such things:-(

If it was fake, sure. I mean we watch horror movies that show cruelty to...humans. If it's fake, then it's all good. However I've seen one film where the low budget used the torture and death of four different animals. They killed them for real and put it in the film. What you see is real, fucking disgusting and I was never into horror films because of the gore, and even if I was, real gore, real death and real violence are no fun. I've also seen a documentary that passes off as entertainment in Japan, where real people are tortured and killed. Ha ha I swear, the human body may not contain as much blood as horror movies make you believe, but hearing someone scream for real is very, very, very different then conventional horror films, and that goes for animals too. I'm not about to boycott anything, especially not 20 year old movies because that won't accomplish much, but there's something to say for ridiculing and laughing at the deaths of people are animals, and I'd rather stay away from it, unless it's for learning purposes. I learned a lot from those Faces of Death movies despite the debates to their authenticity, but watching turtles get ripped to pieces or a women getting her arms chewed by a hammer just for the thrill I find slightly disturbing, and unfortunate. I won't watch it if I know it's real and just showed around for shock value, and as far as that stuff goes, I actually have a really weak stomach, so...also, I tend to stay away from such online videos of the same nature, the so called underbelly of the Internet. Seen enough to throw up for a life time anyway, and there's nothing really satisfactory about it.

Why don't you question all the bad stuff that happens to people in movies?

Movies are movies,why humans and not animals,at the end of their day they hear ,cut,print it.

No! I don't get any joy from watching torture of any living creature. Guess I don't have the serial killer traits that would attract me to such a movie.

No! I can't watch any movies with cruelty to kids, animals or old people..Apparently, I'm fine with middle aged or young people...;)

absolutely not, i cant even watch documentaries about animals or people being mistreated. it makes me cry.

Do you mean like the movie "Earthlings?" "Faces of Death" shows cruelty or unintended harm to humans and animals. All of "Earthlings" is real and many scenes from "Faces of Death" are real.

Yes. I have. And so have a lot of people- Apocalypse Now, featured a pretty grim finale for a cow. It was still alive after a fair few blows. Maybe this can be considered cruelty to animals in film?

No I would rather boycott it.

It would depend if it was faked cruelty or real. if it is cruelty to an animal as part of a script and isn't truly happening then yes, and I've done it before, bt not if it is actual real-life cruelty; i've watched hundreds of people being murdered in films over the years, but I wouldn't watch a film featuring actual footage of murder, unless it was a documentary.

no way - i even switch channel when watching wildlife programmes when theres about to be a 'kill' :(

Including? Yes Featuring? Probably not, unless it was supposedly quite a good film.

NO ... I get NO pleasure out of watching cruel act to defensless animals ...

No

No. I don't like to see anything that is basically defenseless being abused or hurt in any way. And, I don't see the point in any of that. To me it just means that a screenwriter has run out of ideas.

no way... I like animals and can't even watch those shows where they kill one another for survival food. It's just too sad.

That's weird. Millions flocked to see Shindler's lis, the passion and other movies about war attrocities. It's in man's nature to want to kill. In the Movie the Godfather 55 murders were simulated but the only letters of concern were for the dead horse. KHARTOUHMMMMMMM.... he was ok

I went to a chicken processing plant when I was in cooking school. Not only was it cruel but It put me off chicken for nearly 3 years. Years before a woman fell into a vat of chicken blood and drownwed. They didn't even slow the line down. They just fished her out and kept going. Have you ever seen a tumor on a chicken? I have.

as long as it doesnt involve killing or hurting cats im ok

I can watch movies where people & animals are hurt on accident but I can't watch a movie where people are abusing animals...it disgusts me & the only reason I would go there would be to protest against it. The more we normalize this cruelty, the more it will go on in real life.

yay as i alwas say kill kill kill kill and death ass holes

One time I watched this movie about speciesism or whatever.. it had real cruelty to animals. I couldn't finish it. But it was a very interesting, educational film. I usually try to avoid movies with animals in it that get hurt or die... I cover my eyes.

I plan on someday becoming a big filmmaker and making an adult, animated feature about chicken fighting. Where the chickens talk to each other and they're like boxers.

is it about butchers chopping up cows for beef? i wouldnt want to see it, thanks.

Yes. I wouldn't go to the film for those bits of it. But I wouldn't exactly mind that much if there was those sorts of bits in the movie.

Yeah, it's a movie. It's not real and it's not supposed to be. Horror movies slaughter human beings, but that's not going to stop me from being entertained by it.

I have and I regret seeing it. I recently watch Cannibal Holocaust which features several scenes of animal cruelty and I feel the director, Ruggero Deodato, should have been arrested and sent to prison.

as long as it was "faked" for the movie and not real like in cannibal holicost, that said i saw that too. I suggest not watching that film.

No i would not, real or not. it is something that you know is being done all over the word everyday, i change the channel when that commerical for the ASPCA comes on. I don't even like to watch Bambi

No cause I would cry through the whole thing! +5

I have seen several movies already like that. Cannibal Ferox and Cannibal Holocaust. They show real deaths of a turtle, snake, tarantchula and if I remember correctly a dog or cat....it's pretty horrifying that these filmmakers made both films out of the country so they'd be allowed to kill an animal and get away with it. I met the director of Cannibal Holocaust at a horror convention and he was incredibly sweet and says he regrets everyday going too far just to make a film for shock value.

Nah, I couldn't deal with that!!!

One hundred percent, NO.

No, i woud never... Animals are innocent and that's way we shoudn't hurt them...

@#$% NO, keithold?! [sorry for the profanity] ;-)

Nope. Never. That's disgusting.

+5 no not it was real acts of cruelty and not just made up stuff like they do to humans.

Earth animals, or aliens? Starship Troopers comes to mind. Good, controversial question! Earth animals, no; space beasties, sure thing! +3

No way. Animals don't hurt us with no reason so why we should hurt them?

Not if that was the whole point of the movie. But my understanding is that a lot of movies have been mis-rated or censored because of accidental harm to animals. The laws were never intended to cover such things.

I abuse animals every day. Why would I want to see a movie about it?

did you say cruelty? count me in. i'll take cruelty to just about anything that you can imagine.

No, even if it was a documentary type of film made for the purpose of bringing awareness to animal abuse - think it is very important to bring awareness to this issue, but can't watch it myself. I can't even watch movies in which there is no cruelty but an animal dies - could never watch Marley and Me. If a movie features an animal I will google it to see if the animal makes it to the end before watching it!

Absolutely not!

already have it was called airbud

Seeing a film is a brill idea

Sure -- they chopped the head off a cow with a machete in "Apocalypse Now", didn't they?
