Fox Films killed 2 horses in the re-make of the 1943 classic movie My Friend Flicka. The only way to make sure this never happens again is to make it unprofitable for Fox to abuse animals.
You can help by boycotting Flicka on DVD and Pay-Per-View and spreading the word to your friends.

Tim McGraw, the star of Flicka, is a coward for not criticizing Fox's abuse of horses. It will be a long time before many of us forget. In the meanwhile, I'll not be buying any of his albums! I hope you'll join me!

Boycott Fox Films' Flicka on DVD!
The American Humane Association, which supposedly protects animals in the film industry, signed off on Fox's dangerous and irresponsible wild horse race scene. They have gone out of their way to try to convince the public that animal endangerment and cruelty by Fox was just an "accident." It was an accident the same way a demolition derby is an accident!
And they supported Fox's bizarre explanation that the horse "reared" and then fell! Horses can't rear when they are running!
When the LA Daily News was set to report that a horse had previously been killed on a Flicka set, AHA sent out a midnight press release to beat the story to the wire services, except that their press release absolved Fox of any responsibility!
Do not confuse the American Humane Association (AHA) with the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS).
When I confronted AHA representatives to demand to know why they permitted the wild horse race in which the horse was brutally killed, they replied that it wasn't abuse if it wasn't illegal!
American Humane's latest story is that the horses were not supposed to have broken free in the first place! But Fox had boom cameras all around the ring to film the horses running loose and terrified!
This boycott is about more than 2 horses killed by Fox Films. It will send a message to the industry that movie goers will not tolerate cruelty and exploitation of animals in the making of films.
And it will make the American Humane Association re-evaluate its role as pimp for the studios!
Please ask your Friends to Add my page. Tell your family, friends and neighbors. Spread the word at church, school, work and the local tavern!

Our Boycott Flicka campaign has been a huge success. We cost Fox Films $12 Million Dollars! Here's the story:
My name is Roland Windsor Vincent. I'm an attorney, rancher and environmentalist. I own and love horses. Three years ago I was an extra on the set of the Fox Films' shoot of Flicka, and witnessed the cruel use of horses in what is known as a "Wild Horse Race." Wranglers chase frightened horses around a ring, and try to drag them down and mount them.
The horses are terrified, and in the case I witnessed one was tripped on its rope, kicked in the head, and died an agonizing death.
There was absolutely no justification for subjecting horses to this inhumane treatment, except to shoot a sensational scene to make money for Fox.
This was the second horse to die at the hands of Fox in the re-make of My Friend Flicka.
When I broke the story, Fox offered me $2500 to keep quiet!
Just as disturbing was the fact that the film's star, Tim McGraw, hasn't had the guts to even comment on the death of that poor horse. I had been a big fan of Tim McGraw, and I'm sure many of us now are terribly disappointed in him.
Shame on you, Tim!
American Humane is not The Humane Society of the United States
Who I'd like to meet: Other horse people and animal lovers who will join us in demanding that the Screen Actors Guild fire American Humane. Flicka's run in U.S. theatres has ended, and our Boycott Flicka campaign has been the most successful grassroots boycott of a major studio production in the history of the film industry! We cost Fox over $12 Million in domestic box office receipts! We are now urging the Screen Actors Guild to replace American Humane with an animal protection organization that will actually protect animals in film.

Supposedly this reflects Visitors since Map was installed February 26, 2007, however it hasn't updated in a year and a half! I was going to delete this and probably will. This is a worthless plug-in!
It wiped out 85% of all species on Earth in the End-Permian Mass Extinction 251 million years ago, and can do it again, right now. The much milder Cretaceous Crisis was the one that wiped out the dinosaurs.
Global warming is real and unfolding. The deniers are either blind or lying.
On September 14, 2007, Wisconsin activst Amy Burns sent out a circular urging her readers to go to the Baltimore Sun to join in what is destined to be one of its hottest forums ever, a war of minds over the "sport" of hunting, with emphasis on bow-hunting. While her readers began pondering, comments from the pro-hunting side came in hard and fast. "America's most-hated Anti" Anthony Marr jumped in head first, and so did leading anti-huntresses Tierra and Mamasita. Amazingly, the battle is still raging as we speak, more than two years later in November 23, 2009! The total number of comments so far has exceeded 93,000, and growing. This is a phenomenon, and destined to be a classic, not to be missed if you care about animals at all.
Calcutta sounds like a fable in a song, but in reality, it is where John, my colleague and successor, was murdered. He was on the job for only three days when he got his throat slashed. As an undercover investigator targeting the illegal wildlife trade, especially in tiger parts, his real name was unknown, even to me, nor mine to him. We were just John and James to each other. All I know is that he was Chinese American, while his predecessor James - real name Anthony Marr - is Chinese Canadian, and how sincere he was in helping to save the Bengal tiger from being poached out of existence, while its habitat continues to dwindle due to human pressure...
this link above will take you to a site where we are fighting the glorification of abuse of bulls, for the sake of a movie involving Cruise/Diaz and yes again Fox films.
we can use all the help we can get, I have received no answer back from any of them. please friends, join care2 at least to help us get this vital message across, it's a hideous torture of animals. even bulls feel fear and pain, no matter how big, strong and scary they may look, it still hurts.

We do have a barbarian at the gate, a demon lurking in the ground, frozen there for eons, now being thawed and released into the living world, where it will roast life alive. If you want to really scare yourself silly, watch this 50 minute video in one go. Turn off the light, and the phone..
