0

The Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) has sought an inquiry in connection with the death of a horse here allegedly during the shooting of filmmaker Mani Ratnam’s Tamil historical drama “Ponniyin Selvan”, according to PETA.

A case was filed against the director on August 18th after a horse died on the sets of his film in a private set erected in Hyderabad. The director, along with the owner of the horse have been booked under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and IPC.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) received inside information on this matter directly from the sets. Based on the information of the whistleblower a letter was written to the Hyderabad District Collector. According to the complaint, the remains of the horse were buried in the same ground and a number of horses were similarly used and were tired and dehydrated.

“In the age of computer-generated imagery (CGI), production companies have no excuse for forcing exhausted horses to play at war until one of them drops dead,” said PETA India Chief Advocacy Officer Khushboo Gupta. “Compassionate, forward-thinking filmmakers would never dream of hauling sensitive animals to a chaotic movie set and forcing them to ‘act’. PETA India is calling on director Mani Ratnam to cut the cruelty and switch to modern and humane CGI and other visual-effects technology,” the PETA release further said.
