Speed Racer Bites - Literally!
[Speed Racer, PETA]
When your friends and neighbors go to see the new movie Speed Racer, what they won't see is the trainer who allegedly beat the chimpanzee who plays Chim Chim. They also won't see the chimpanzee bite an actor on the set.
Computers, animatronics, and costumes have made putting real animals through confusing and scary routines-where misbehavior or a lack of understanding can result in punishment-entirely unnecessary. So why do movies like Speed Racer continue to exploit them?
Help let Hollywood know that you will not stand by while animals are mistreated for entertainment. PETA makes sure moviegoers know that animals are not actors, are not on these sets voluntarily, and should never be beaten or abused because they aren't able to play the part that the director has chosen for them.
Also: be sure to check out the beautiful but ruthless machine from TV's hottest show, Battlestar Galactica. The real life Tricia Helfer (a.k.a. Six to her legions of fans) has a heart of gold and a soft spot for animals, particularly cats. That's why she's starring in PETA's newest "Be an Angel for Animals" PSA in behalf of our feline friends.
