Cruelty to animal

Rating: 1/10 (20 April 2009)

In the movie "The Last King of Scotland", there was a horrific scene with a cow in tremendous, heartbreaking pain. One could hear the agony and the labored scream from the animal (these noises were not "staged"). HOW COULD THAT BE ALLOWED??? Can somebody, please, explain this. I know the movie is from 2006, but the director is still alive and kicking and he should be punished for using an innocent animal in pain for effect. I will contact the ASPCA and have them contact this director. The cow in the scene was either there, dying, or the scene was entered there from some other video. It still is outrageous!!!!
I would like somebody connected to the movie contact me with an explanation. Due to that horrific scene, I was not able to finish the movie, I was DISGUSTED. I am surprised that no-one has commented about it. Are we so coldblooded and callous?? Even the director in his comments of the scene, did not mention the situation regarding this cow. Not a word.
