Slide Show: 5 Hollywood Horses Plot Revenge After Third Fatality Cancels HBO’s Luck
The International Business Times Today:
HBO’s new series “Luck,” has been cancelled unexpectedly after growing safety concerns for its equine cast members boiled. The show, which starred Dustin Hoffman and Nick Nolte, was responsible for the death of three horses in its short production span.
On Tuesday, a horse was injured and euthanized at Santa Anita Park racetrack, according to USA Today, and HBO agreed to suspend filming at the request of the American Humane Association, a group that oversees Hollywood productions.
HBO’s “Luck” had seen the death of two horses during shooting prior to Tuesday’s incident, both of which generated outrage from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). PETA sent a letter to L.A. District Attorney Cooley one day prior to the death of the third horse.
It looks like you mixed a jackass in among your horses.
If the directors kept on ordering re-takes of the racing scenes, treating the horses as though they were cars instead of flesh and blood, it’s no wonder so many have died.
Three horses die, two of them because their arthritic bones exploded under the pressure, and you decide to write a humor piece about it. This is just sick.
Sass: You either are being willfully ignorant of the point being made by the article, or you’re just stupid. I can’t do anything about either.
The answer is neither. The point is poorly made and the suffering of these horses doesn’t justify the “joke.” I don’t expect that someone whose first line of response is “you’re stupid” would understand that, though.
Apparently the winning answer is that you are both willfully ignorant and stupid to boot.
Thanks for playing, bye bye.
So the only catoon horse you left out was John Kerry. Oh wait he’s not a cartoon!
