I don’t believe any amount of unediting will change the fact that at that moment that dog was terrified for it’s life , and the guy was trying to force it in the water ? along with the fact that in the second sequence when that dog was being pushed down stream , was pushed against wall and went under , it was again terrified ? do they abuse their animals , well if they make a habit of doing what’s in that minute of film , then yes they do ………. they may have treated the dog like a king prior to and afterwards , it won't change what you seen ......... if you catch a guy robbing your house , do you assume it's probably his first and only time , and he's not a thief ?
The producer wrote “"As with the TMZ video that you saw, two things were evident: (1) the dog handler tries to force the dog, for 35 to 40 seconds, into the water when, clearly, he didn’t want to go in; and (2) in a separate take filmed sometime later, the dog did go into the water, on his own, and, at the end, his head is submerged for about 4 seconds. These two things are absolutely INEXCUSABLE and should NEVER have happened," Polone wrote.”
I personally don’t care what peta thinks , what’s on the video shown isn’t gonna change …….. they need to release their own videos of the dog happily doing the stunt , they claim to have them …….. I’m doubting we’ll be seeing them , ever ……….. what do you think a budget is on a movie like that ? how much you think they'll lose ? how could you watch the movie after seeing that and take it seriously ? if they have video they really need to show it to undo some of the damage .........
The author said this
“Cameron issued a formal statement about the dog in the video, proclaiming that "the dog was not terrified and not thrown in the water", but was merely uncomfortable with the specific area of the pool he was commanded to enter, which was apparently unfamiliar to him:” ……. "He loves the water, wasn’t in danger, and wasn’t upset.”
The dog was merely “uncomfortable with the specific area “ and “upset”
