_ [Notes Off The Cuff By P. L. I just about go bananas when I see animals mistreated or killed by obviously. cruel and inhumane methods in motion pictures that have been advertised as “‘entertainment”’ by their makers or reviewers. In recent years that sort of thing has been on the increase, and consequently I’ve seen relatively few products of the lop-sided minds of ‘‘Hollywood.” How some of our big, brave he-: men actors can find the stomach for certain scenes involving the torture of defenseless animals is quite beyond my comprehension. My only consolation. _ is the fact that I have lots of company in my feelings on the subject and that some of us are doing a few things about the situation. The following list of motion picture titles includes current films which incorporate a significant amount of animal action into the story line. The classifications are those of the ‘AmericanHumane Association’s Hollywood office, and they are: ; ACCEPTABLE: Zandy’s Bride, Benji, Blazing Saddles, So Long, Blue Boy, Mame, and the Day of the Dolphin. UNACCEPTABLE: (Animals killed during filming) Kid Blue, Charlie One Eye, Man From Deep River and Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid. UNACCEPTABLE: (Objectionable use of horses during filming) My Name Is Nobody, The Deadly Trackers, Billy Two Hats, Deaf Smith & Johnny Ears, The Man Who Loved Cat Unacceptable, by all known . standards, also was. an §International film product entitled ‘“Kwiaheri’’ for its gross mistreatment of animals. And a recent TV release relating to an African Safari had many scenes involving animal Killing by primitive means which prolonged the agony of the dying creatures to an obscene denoument. I did not view it but a neighbor’s little girl, aged seven, told me enough about the Smith film to. make me sick to my stomach. Her teacher had recommended it! The child said that her teacher told the class that “If your parents) say you cannot see the picture, I will understand. . . but if you do watch it please come to class prepared to report on it.” I asked the little girl if her folks had asked her not to look at it and she said, ‘‘They weren’t home that night, but the baby sitter said I could if I could take it. So I watched for a while and then I got sick and went to bed.”’ Something else that the Humane Association is doing to make life a bit better for both man and animals is its extensive laboratory study of animal rabies in the United States. The association has announced that there has been a 14 per cent increase above the past five year’s average in rabies in our 50 states over the 1973 study period. Its.statistics reveal that there were 4,427 cases last year, . with every state except Hawaii reporting the \disease. (Hawaii has a stringent four-month quarantine for all dogs and cats entering the islands). Skunks accounted for 47 per cent of all confirmed cases last year. Other species with a high incidence rate included foxes, 15 per cent; bats, 11 per cent; and raccoons, four per cent. There were 232 confirmed cases. of rabies in dogs and 184 cases of rabies in cats during the year. Recent séizures along the Mexican border by U.S. Custéms Service of parrots, parakeets, finches, fighting cocks and other birds also emphasizes the danger in buying smuggled birds that might be diseased. . . especially since they are all prone to be afflicted carriers of the dreaded “Exotic Newcastle” or psittacosis (parrot fever).
