Or maybe they should just use the animals in the zoo they're filming in, since they already have a home. And before you think I'm cruel, listen to this- animal training- wild and domestic- has now become more and more humane. All it really is is an animal's natural reaction to a stimulus followed by a reinforcement(reward). For instance, my dog. I give her the "sit" command, where as I lift my hand in the air, she automatically plants her butt on the ground. As soon as she does what I want, I reinforce her by saying "Good girl!", then I give her a treat and a friendly rubdown. Keep in mind that my dog is not starving- she is fed twice a day and given plenty of water. I am not "forcing" her to do a trick. All she's thinking is "All I have to do is sit down and I get free food? Sweet deal!" It's just like giving a paying your child their allowance for doing a few chores- they don't need money- you take good care of them, feed them, dress them- but they want it anyway. It's the same way with most modern training. Except that some people still use bullhooks for elephant(now THOSE are cruel!)

I don't think its right, and animal movies aren't that entertaining for me unless its a good documentary.

Watch almost any movie and you will see animals being used for cinematic entertainment. People got to learn to let go. Tell the CG people to get better! Adam Sandler movies exploit animals like crazy like his last major movie zultan or whatever the name of it was. HOLLYWOOD = abuse animals.
