AAh Musicman, your post reminds me of the heady days when I trained animals for the movies and Search and Rescue programs. Whenever you saw a cat stuck in a drainpipe, a doggie floating on a log during a flood or a horse trapped in a ditch it was probably one of my highly trained students. Trained to look scared and miserable and not to bite, kick or scratch the rescuers.
One of my proudest moments in the movies is when they used my crocs Hammy and George to spill out the tank and attack the actors. Cant remember if it was Eraser or Mission Impossible2. They showed incredible restraint and never nipped anybody.
I have since retired but I do know they used my polar bear Freddy for the role in Earth. Despite my warnings they put him on a diet to make the scene more credible. blooming amateurs. they only have themselves to blame for the non publicised event that resulted from their stupidity. Freddy ate a cameraman, I believe. Hope it was not someone you knew.

jassy,
If you insist on using my namesake (George) The Croc for a prop, we will ask SAG to sue for proper renumeration aka (Large bundle of money). ???
george. ;D ;D
musicman:
Wow Jassy. You trained computer animated crocidiles to eat badguys in the movie Eraser. How'd you pull that off. Actually, I was going to inform everyone that it was a camera man that the polar bear ate. But it was too weak to do anything, so we decided to tazer the guy that no one liked and placed him right in front of Freddy the polar bear.

yes, i know that sometimes it is a harsh world in nature, but we don't have to be voyeurs and then put it on t.v. to pull at the carnal heartstrings of humans. humans are screwed up enough without the help of t.v. producers who are in it for the money and the sensationalism.

I agree with what you have said, and yes it is not only with animal that this happens but with humans as well, witch it makes me wonder how come we have become very insensitive for what we see constantly on the screens, maybe because people say 'well its just a movie nothing most be real', and yes most of the times its just a theatrical performer with real humans, with real emotions who not just live on the movies. (well on the bear case or any animal case, i doubt it to be a theatrical performer for them, ha)
And then we all have seen that there is also movies that have a bliss or certain amounts of truth, but since people is so used to these kind of thinking (of 'its just a movie') i wonder, Are all these peaces of truths in movies always being blown by the wind?

ps. I haven't seen the movie, but... I can image the scenes easily.
musicman:
The movie is really quite good. Check it out.
