#Repost @pawsphilippines with @repostapp ??? JUSTICE FOR THE DOG IN "ORO." Here's a screenshot of the dog that was slaughtered in ORO. The dog was put in a sack, beaten to death, skinned and gutted. Are the good reviews and awards the film got worth it at the cost of an an innocent creature's life? Now everyone who has to come out with an "official, carefully worded" statement - lawyers, non-lawyers, members of MMFF ExeCom, cast and crew members, Director Alvin Yapan - I invite you to look into those eyes and tell us whether his life mattered. Whether his fear - at the very moment this was filmed- mattered. If it matters. If anything matters. At all. To us "humans". That he was used as a helpless prop in this abomination of a film." -From PAWS Executive Director Anna Cabrera. PLEASE HELP PAWS BY SPREADING AWARENESS BY REPOSTING AND SHARING THIS ON YOUR ACCOUNTS.?????????--- nakakahiya at nakakagalit. A life is a life and should never be trivialized for the sake of art or what have you. Such a shame!!!
