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!
Join us in calling on the Screen Actors Guild to end their involvement with, and funding of, American Humane!
Call the Screen Actors Guild at (323) 954-1600.
Demand that they replace American Humane with an animal protection organization which will work in the animals' interests!
Br sure to tell them how much you appreciate SAG's interest in protecting animals. And tell them American Humane is letting them dowm!

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.

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace...
Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.

"The latest show about Jan haagensen was simply shocking - I'll support her case. These "hunters" are a shame on humanity - hunting was a necessity in previous centuries but it's become simply entertainment for cowards. Great you're making Vancouver an international center for discussion!!!" - Andalusia
"The Jan Haagensen interview was excellent and I hope they do invalidate the whole hunter harassment statue because it is unconstitutional. I like this women and her love for animals. Seems quite a lot of people know Jan as their "hero" already, so it's great news. And thank you Anthony for a great radio program." - Tierra
"Really Good interview, Jan Haagensen is a Great Lady!" - Dominique
"That hunter who threatened Jan and her mother should have been charged with making a terrorist threat. Which is also a felony by the way." - Wolf
Anthony Marr will be speaking at the Animal Rights Conference (www.ARConference.org) on his own plan to challenge the Hunter Harassment laws of other states for being unconstitutional.
For 30 years, Jan Haagensen has been harassed and her farm in PA invaded with impunity by hunters, and her NO HUNTING signs and fences repeatedly torn down. 10 years ago, she had had enough, and approached the trespassing hunters to ask them to leave, and asked a hunter engaged in illegal hunting to cease and desist. When a hunter threatened to shoot her and her mother, she called police, which sided chummily with the hunters, and later charged her with 5 counts of "hunter harassment". The "kangaroo court" convicted her on all 5 counts. Being an attorney, she appealed to the appellate court and won, and is now challenging the PA Hunter Harassment Statute in federal court as being unconstitutional for inhibiting free speech and violating property rights. If she wins, doors will be open for challenging the equally unconstitutional Hunter Harassment laws of other states.
Jan will be Anthony Marr's guest on Animal Voices this Friday, July 3, 3-4pm-ET/12-1pm-PT, online live at www.CoOpRadio.org. If you missed it, go to www.myspace.com/AnthonyMarr where the interviews are archived. Call-in hotline 1-604-684-7561.
