Make Kodak and Fuji stop using shredded animal bones in film

35mm, 16mm movie and SLR film is made using "gelatin" which is derived from shredded cow and pig bones.  Some of us love to make films and love the "look" of film while at the same time do not like the look of digital video and digital stills.  However we cannot justify making a piece of art while killing another living, sentient individual--let alone the vast number of individuals slaughtered to produce the 80 million tons of gelatin that Kodak alone buys every year. 

There are alternative gelling agents rumored to exist.  Please demand that Kodak and Fuji offer an alternative.  In the meantime I would suggest that you don't make films, and I would also suggest that you don't go and see films or give your money to films until this change is made.  Take a reinvigorated interest in other arts (i.e. drawing, and music) until the change is made.
