PETA objects The rings of power
PETA recently sentenced the death of a horse during the filming of the second season from the Series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. For years, the association has been asking the film and television industry to no longer use animals on set.
In a statement sent to varietyPETA accused the production of do not use digital or practical effects to represent horses. Association Vice President Lisa Lange added:
PETA therefore urges the creators of the series – and all other producers – not to use real horses anymore. If they can’t avoid using animals for their art, they should change careers, because nobody wants to see a spin-off whose theme is animal abuse.
