"A Dog's Purpose" is just the latest movie to face claims of on-set animal abuse.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Universal Pictures canceled the Los Angeles premiere of "A Dog's Purpose" one day after the video surfaced. The issue made national news again this week when video from the set of the upcoming film "A Dog's Purpose" was released by TMZ, showing a frightened dog being forced to enter rushing water and being submerged before a crew member yelled "Cut!"Īfter the video was released, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals - which has argued for computer-animated animals to replace living animals in movies - called for a boycott of the movie, which is slated for release on Jan. Since 1939, the American Humane Association has monitored the treatment of animal actors on sets of thousands of films, giving most of them its famous seal of approval, stating that "No animals were harmed" in the making of the movie.
Animal abuse on the set of Hollywood movies has been a controversial topic for decades.
