So why didn't those wranglers do any thing @ the time to stop more from dying if they were so concerned. Sounds like they are just as responsible for the death of those animals.

I think most Animal-rights activists Organizations are afraid to attack, protest/boycott this movie against the all powerful nerd and geek super fan crowd. Too bad the HBO's LUCK didn't have the super fan following, otherwise it would still be on the air.

Chickens,horses and sheep!!! Who cares!!! with all the crime and death happening worldwide, kids starving, diseases, floods, why are people going to worry about a few animals in a movie that died. If you don't like the fact animals were harmed in making the movie don't go see the movie but if you're going to spend your time protesting and making a big stink about it use your time and energy on a better cause for crying out loud, help find a cure for cancer help fight AIDS, Be a big Brother or big sister help out with the Boys and Girls Club, for gods sake they're animals not people!

Sounds a bit like someone trying to cash in with just over a week until the premiere. I find it hard to believe that any animal could freeze to death in Wellington when the weather never goes below zero.

All of you animal lovers are funny. People are dying all over the world, Gaza, Africa, Genocides etc etc. A chicken dies on set, WOW.

So, you can spend millions on a movie, but you don't feel the need to secure the animals safety?? I guess i won't be paying to see this movie.

Death of animals on a set to me causes for the death of a movie at the box office...BOYCOTT this film if you truly love animals like MOST of the normal people here!!!

I can't speak for everyone, but the reason I'm concerned for the animals is because they are innocent!!! Yes there are humans dying all over but it is at our own fault! Our greed and selfishness are key factors!! We go and experiment with diseases and such thing that end up killing us. Animals don't have a voice! They don't bother us, and most of the ones that do is because we destroy their natural habitat for big mansions we don't need, highways etc. not one of those animals signed up for that money, the least that they deserve is to be treated right!

Take live animals out of film. It's not right - use special effects. Shame.
