The American public and much of the international community look for the No Animals Were Harmed(R) end-credit disclaimer at the end of theatrical films. It is their assurance that the animal actors used in those productions were not killed or injured in any way, and that their well-being and safety were assured by the trusted, credible and historic American Humane Association. However, some recent movies are misleading the public.The movies falsely using the AHA are creating a significant breach of trust with audiences by inserting unauthorized No Animals Were Harmed end credits that have not been granted by American Humane, and whose productions were not monitored on-set by American Humane and its international cadre of highly trained Certified Animal Safety Representatives(TM).American Humane sets standards of care for animals in entertainment, upholds our Guidelines for the Safe Use of Animals in Filmed Media, and records objective reports from the set attesting to the treatment of the animals, said Karen Rosa, American Humanes vice president in charge of its Film & TV Unit. Films that meet these standards are eligible to carry the end credit, and this misuse of American Humanes registered trademark is an affront to those producers who legitimately and conscientiously meet those standards.American Humanes Film & TV Unit, based in the Los Angeles area, exposed these recent films as using deceptive and unauthorized end credits: "Adam" by Olympus Pictures, Deer Path Productions, Serenade Films, Vox3 Films. "District 9" by WingNut Films Limited, Key Creatives and LLC/QED Intl. "Easy Virtue" by Ealing Studios, Fragile Films, Endgame Ent., Odyssey Ent. "How to Lose Friends and Alienate People" by Number 9 Films. "Shrink" by Ignite Entertainment, Ignite Productions, Ithaka Entertainment and Trigger Street Productions.In each instance, American Humane has sent the production entities, studios and/or distributors a cease-and-desist letter demanding that the unauthorized end-credit disclaimers be removed immediately from the theatrical version, the DVD version and any other versions they are releasing. Some studios and producers have indicated they will remove the illegitimate credit, while others are making excuses or taking no action and, thus, are potentially compounding possible infringement of American Humanes protected trademark. This furthers the willful deception of the public as to the veracity of the safety and well-being of the animals used in those films.We encourage filmmakers to work with American Humane, and for distributors to verify the legitimacy of the No Animals Were Harmed(R) credit, before approving and finalizing any film prints for theatrical release or DVD distribution, Rosa noted. Viewers, too, should always look for the No Animals Were Harmed(R) end credit, and they can check our Web site, www.americanhumane.org/film to see what rating we assigned to films, based on their use of animals, and to find out how the animal action was achieved on films that we monitored.Fonte Eu nao costumo me pronunciar sobre as insanidades que vejo outros profissionais da area de treinamento de caes, famosos ou nao, dizendo por ai.
