by Who? on April 18th, 2008
Yes I would. I've seen movies that have featured acts of cruelty to humans.
by ...... on April 21st, 2008
No that would not spark an interest with me at all.
by failed_stoic on March 4th, 2009
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.
by lil bit dixie on March 4th, 2009
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...;)
by Galeanda on April 28th, 2008
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:-(

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.

NO
by Peetee on April 21st, 2008
What? like Tom and Jerry? or Wild E Coyote and the Road Runner?
by Babycakes on April 21st, 2008
No, and I would boycott it.
by dr james on April 21st, 2008
nope and the aspca would shut it down
by Born In Disguise_x on April 11th, 2009
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.
by ICU says April is Autism Awareness Mo. on March 5th, 2009
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.
by killdrphil - reasonable for a madman on March 5th, 2009
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.
by Yarnlady is happy every day on March 5th, 2009
No
by -_You Can Leave Your Hat On....- on March 5th, 2009
no way - i even switch channel when watching wildlife programmes when theres about to be a 'kill' :(
by Don Gorgeous George on March 5th, 2009
No I would rather boycott it.
by aleschia on March 4th, 2009
absolutely not, i cant even watch documentaries about animals or people being mistreated. it makes me cry.
by Tveg on February 24th, 2009
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.
by Symbeline on May 3rd, 2008
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.
by Ed the Jetpacking Headbanger on April 28th, 2008
No
by Egico is now Egioz on April 28th, 2008
No, I won't even go to the circus because of the way they treat the animals.
by Ms.A on April 28th, 2008
No,what for?
by AnnieOlga on April 26th, 2008
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....
by Jimmyp on April 21st, 2008
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..)
by Jodie44 on April 18th, 2008
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.
by SIR_Anony is now SIR_Anthony on November 3rd, 2009
Absolutely not!
by Caitlin on October 11th, 2009
One hundred percent, NO.
by guitar_player2009 on July 25th, 2009
Nah, I couldn't deal with that!!!
by Anonymous on July 25th, 2009
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.
by -NUNYA-- on July 25th, 2009
No cause I would cry through the whole thing! +5
by CoRoNa_ChiCK ILOVEMYH@TERS on July 25th, 2009
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
by Binkky on July 25th, 2009
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.
by Evildeadexorcist on July 3rd, 2009
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.
by Icebox April on June 23rd, 2009
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.
by Anonymous on June 23rd, 2009
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.
by DudeLer 2 on June 23rd, 2009
is it about butchers chopping up cows for beef? i wouldnt want to see it, thanks.
by The Mess on June 23rd, 2009
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.
by iKnow on June 23rd, 2009
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.
by superkid5247 on April 8th, 2009
as long as it doesnt involve killing or hurting cats im ok
by tony b on April 1st, 2009
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.
by tony b on April 1st, 2009
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
by NeverWas on March 5th, 2009
Including? Yes
Featuring? Probably not, unless it was supposedly quite a good film.
by Sid on March 5th, 2009
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.
by Toiletcruncher on March 5th, 2009
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?
by what on May 3rd, 2008
Movies are movies,why humans and not animals,at the end of their day they hear ,cut,print it.
by Moogie on May 3rd, 2008
Why don't you question all the bad stuff that happens to people in movies?
by Squirrel Face on April 28th, 2008
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.
by Vampyre Bat on April 28th, 2008
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.
by Jessie Owenby on April 26th, 2008
Sure, You should watch the movie Gummo.
by Doubly Ugly on April 21st, 2008
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.
How many Friday the 13th movies? And what are all of their names.

People think acts of violence towards human isn't as bad or something.
I don't understand the logic there. +4
