So, I was reading this crazy article about how a horse died on the set of the new ‘Lord of the Rings’ TV show. Apparently, it happened due to cardiac failure and it’s causing quite a stir. My guess is that animal rights activists will have a field day with this one!
Anyway, here’s what went down: the horse was reportedly being led back to its stable, after performing a few stunts, when it collapsed and died. The producers of the show have released a statement expressing their sadness and saying that they’re doing everything they can to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
Now, as someone who used to ride horses, I find this whole thing pretty disturbing. It’s not easy working with these huge animals, and accidents can happen. But there’s a reason why animal welfare laws are in place - to prevent tragedies like this from occurring.
The takeaway from this is that it’s important for TV and movie productions to take animal safety seriously, and to follow all the necessary protocols to ensure that the animals are well taken care of. It’s also important for viewers to be aware of the risks that come with working with animals, and to support productions that prioritize the safety and well-being of the animals involved.
