Should be renamed to "Animal Holocaust"

Are people purposefully missing the point in this thread just for sake of argument?
We are not upset about the depiction of cruelty to humans in this film because it was fake. The animals are really being killed on camera, for entertainment purposes.
Also, it is NOT the case, as someone has stated here, that the animals would have been killed anyway, and they just recorded it for the movie's realism. The animals were captured and killed in order to get the shot for the movie. In fact, the spider monkey scene was done twice, killing 2 animals because the director wasn't happy with the first take!
If we're talking about the movie's plot, then yes. The animal death is depicted as either for food or in defence of themselves. So, the human torture and murder is worse.
But in the context of MAKING a movie, there's NOTHING to debate about whether it's right or wrong to have characters in a story killed. It's just a story. This depiction may be more realistic than most, but it's still FX, still simulated - as the animal killing should have been! -

Omg, WE GET the ****ing point!!! We KNOW that animal cruelty is wrong. We also get that the difference between human killings and animal killings is that one is fake and the other real; we are not retarded and get why one is unacceptable and the other is fine.
But what you braindead, PETA ****ing retards don't get: it doesn't stop us from loving the movie, and it's perfectly in our rights. Not because we don't love or care about animals, but we simply can look past that and appreciate the movie for what it is. Plus, the violence is NOT senseless, and the animals were served as FOOD.
So PUT THIS IN YOUR HEADS: Don't like it because it offends you, don't ****ing watch it, but let people enjoy whatever they want.
