When watching a movie I never look away when people are killing each other but I find it incredibly hard to watch when they kill an animal. I'm just curious if anyone else is like this.

I have not seen I am Legend because I'm convinced the dog dies.

Animal death scenes in movies always makes tear up. Well unless it is a cat.

I did tear up when Mufasa died so that does count as a cat I guess.

I got a buddy who refuses to watch War Horse and Rise of the Planet of the Apes for fear that the horse and main ape dies.

But yeah, I hate when the animals dies too. True Grit was pretty bad. Especially the way he had to go.

I think it's a sign of poor moral upbringing when a person values the life of an animal more than the life of a human.

Since we're on the subject, do you know what's also pretty dang sad? Nearly all the animals in these films have died in real life.


Old Yeller is long gone. Buddy bit it long ago.


Maybe people get so choked up because they identify with the animal due to their own experience with their pets? Be it from their childhood or adult lives.

We are desensitized to people dying because you see it so much in movies. What gets me more then anything is children dying in movies. I usually turn a movie off when a horrible death to a child happens and sometimes come back to finish it, sometimes not.

Not me. The scene in Saving Private Ryan that I just can't watch anymore is when that pussy allows the German by and he ends up killing the American Soldier.

I can't watch animals die, especially dogs

Horses that die in battle scenes of movies bother me too, they didn't need to die

Me for sure. However children dying is pretty tough as well.

I don't. shite happens. Old Yeller needed to be put down. Bambi's mother deserved it. Marley was a bitch dog. They should have shown Seabisquit being made into dog food.


That's the circle of life.

I watched the ending to 'My Dog Skip' one time and that's enough for me.

Depends on the person.

Seriously, it depends on the reason and the manner of death with an animal.

ETA:

I only read the OP when I posted.
