Hurting innocent dinosaurs for a movie is disgusting, and if you watch it you are part of the proble

22 year old animal rights activist Carla Odle is opposed to the treatment of the dinosaurs used in the filming of Jurassic World

This really breaks my heart. It's so disgusting how they can treat them like that. It's such a disgrace to the film industry. I'm almost crying thinking about what has been done to them, but I'm going to try to keep calm and collected so that I can get my point across because it's important.

So unless you've been living under a rock for the past few months, you know there's a movie in the cinemas right now called Jurassic World. The film is a continuation of the Jurassic Park trilogy from the 1990's and features, as the name suggests, dinosaurs. The dinosaurs used during the filming were not treated well - I can tell you that much. Much like the roles they played, the dinosaurs seem to have been confined to cages for most of the shooting and were not allowed to roam free during the breaks or even eat or drink. The dinosaurs were then, during the filming of the actual scenes, subjected to gratuitous violence, like being stabbed, shot at, and even killed by the supposed hero, the big fat lard ball we all know as Chris Pratt. There seems to have been no code of ethics in the treatment of the dinosaurs used in the filming and there is not even as disclaimer at the beginning saying that no dinosaurs were harmed during the filming so it's safe to assume that when the dinosaurs were being injured it wasn't special effects, but reality I mean how can Steven Spielberg live with himself actually harming, taunting and killing live animals just to get a good shot? I don't see people killing and harming other animals such as horses just to get an interesting scene, so why are dinosaurs the exception? Do you think that just because dinosaurs are big and dangerous, that you can just kill them for sport? Dinosaurs may be dangerous and huge, but they're animals too and all animals should be treated equally. I find it so fucking disgusting to think about how many dinosaur lives have been wasted just so that you can make a couple of million dollars on the box office. Steven, you're actually murdering for money? How does that feel? I think if you go see the movie, you're a part of the problem. In going to the cinema to watch this shitty film, you're actually supporting the killings of maybe hundreds of dinosaurs that were killed during the making of the movie. The moment the usher rips your ticket and points you to the cinema, you're actually contributing to the genocide of a number of species that have been in danger of extinction for a long time now. I mean, how can you live with yourself? Could you watch a Garfield movie knowing that hundreds of cats were killed during the making of the movie? No I didn't think so, so why do you think it's okay when dinosaurs are being killed? It's a vile double standard and you should be ashamed of yourself. If you go see this movie, you're what's wrong with the world. I'm calling for a more ethical treatment of the dinosaurs used for dinosaur films - thus, I want you all to boycott Jurassic World and tell your friends to not watch it as well. I want us all together to join forces and stop the mistreatment of dinosaurs during movie shoots. If you want to discuss this cause with me, tweet under #DinoLivesMatter
