PETA President Ingrid Newkirk reminds viewers of the cruelty inherent in using animals as “actors.”

Hollywood must be held responsible for what happens when the cameras stop rolling.

Chance, the chimpanzee who appeared in “The Wolf of Wall Street,” is yanked by a leash and forced to perform tricks at a Florida roadside zoo.

Thankfully, this dog found an advocate in RPattz, but this is one more example demonstrating why it’s never a “good time” to be an animal used in films.

The film is laced with anti-captivity messaging, so it’s only fitting that animal welfare was taken into account when digitally creating the stars of the film.

Animal advocates in Germany are saying “Auf Wiedersehen” to the abusive chimpanzee act—the last of its kind—at Baden-Württemberg’s Schwaben Park amusement park.

Pirates of the Caribbean producers need to wise up, join the modern age of computer-generated imagery, and stop forcing sensitive wild animals to perform on camera.
