Here's a precursor to animal rights activists' beef with John Waters' Pink Flamingos. Waters explains: "Animal rights acitivists always say to me, 'How could you kill a chicken for a movie?' Well, I eat chicken and I know the chicken didn't land on my plate from a heart attack. We bought the chicken from a farmer who advertised freshly killed chicken. I think we made the chicken's life better. It got to be in a movie, it got f*cked, and then right after filming the next take, the cast ate the chicken!"
"A film without chickens." From The Judge, 1921.
