DVD rental outlets now have a movie available called "Seed" (directed by Uwe Boll). This movie has real-life footage of animals being skinned alive, stomping on a dog's head until it is dead, a dog locked in a room without food until it starves to death, and other horrible scenes.

This footage has apparently been taken from an animal rights documentary about cruelty to animals - and then put into a horror movie for people's "entertainment". The Australian Protectionist Party believes that this movie should be banned as it promotes animal cruelty.

The APP believes that any entertainment - including movies, video games, etc. - which feature cruelty to animals should be banned, as we believe it promotes violence to those animals who have the least means to protect themselves.



Update: We have been advised that the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals organisation (PETA) is receiving a percentage of the profits from the movie "Seed", as PETA footage of examples of animal cruelty are included in the film. The morality of PETA raising money this way is viewed as dubious.
