Animals In Movies, Behind The Scenes - Millie Annabeth

In the movies, televisions, commercials, or ads we all have seen animals being used in them, sometimes making them talk or acting like humans. Many companies and brands used this kind of strategy to pull out an emotional side from the viewer just to make them more inclined to take notice. That is one of the reasons companies decide to make the movies or ads more like a story. From many perspectives, animals in entertainment seem really cute as they would make an instant connection with viewers, making them feel reminded of themselves or their pets. Most likely using animals will offer huge advantages since they appeal to all people, unlike the demographics of human beings itself. As an addition it evokes many different emotions in the viewer and can impact people on their decisions.

Behind the scenes when animals are used in entertainment, they suffer - movies, commercials, or televisions are no exceptions. Animals that are used are mostly still very young, making them away from their mother to live a life of deprivation. Likely, they have no control over their lives or what will happen next. They’re treated like props, often forced to perform confusing tricks on cue until they’re considered too old, too sick, or simply no longer profitable. At offset training compounds, living conditions are typically dismal, and abusive training techniques, including food deprivation, are commonly used to ensure that animals will perform on set in the fewest takes possible. Animals used in movies and on TV are trapped in the recurring role of “victim.”

In the Hollywood industry there are for sure some filmmakers and TV producers that understand animals aren’t ours to abuse just for entertainment, but many still need to be persuaded. By avoiding shows or movies that use animals, the public could send a powerful message that profits won’t come without principles and that the public expect a better way when animals are used.
