The animal suffered cardiac arrest, and the exact circumstances of its death are unknown.
An Amazon Studios spokesperson expressed regret for the incident in a press release, revealing that the horse’s death occurred despite the presence of a veterinarian and a representative of American Humane, an organization that works for animal welfare and respect, on the set. .
PETA Vice President Lisa Lange condemned the production of The Lord of the Rings, accusing it of using horses in particular when modern technology could use digital, or even mechanical tricks, to capture the images. .
PETA encourages the series’ creators and producers to use new methods without using real horses. If they can’t stop exploiting animals for their artistic needs, they’d be better off choosing a new medium, because nobody wants to see a spinoff series that centers around animal abuse.
