Help Animals in Movies (HAM)
- by: Help Animals in Movies (HAM)
- recipient: Legislators
Help Animals in Movies (HAM) was created in direct response to the movie 'The Grey', when it was learned that director Joe Carnahan made the cast eat wolf. Upon further investigation it was learned that oversight and protection of animal use in movie productions were entirely voluntary, and not mandatory as most people believe.
Most of us believe that animals used in movies are protected, and that no animals may be subjected to injury or harm. Nothing could be further from the truth.
You see the dirty little secret is that animal protection during the filming of a movie is totally voluntary. A production company does not have to have American Humane Association oversight. Additionally, production companies can simply film outside of the United States and they are allowed to circumvent US Animal Cruelty laws.
Our purpose is to enlighten the public to these gaping holes in animal protection, and to help push for enactment of stricter laws protecting the use of animals (domestic and wild) in movies, the elimination of animal carcasses in movies, and the requirement that any film produced outside the United States for distribution in the U.S., must conform to all proposed animal cruelty laws.
Please add a short personal comment when signing our petition. This will ensure your vote gets counted due to new regulations.

Dear [Representative],
We the undersigned believe animals should be better protected when used in movie productions in the United States.
We thought there were laws protecting animals in movies, and as there are not, we ask for humane laws regarding the use of animals in the filming of any movie distributed in the United States..
1. We ask that the use of wild animals in movies be prohibited, as they are not trainable unless subjected to what amounts to torture, and their use constitutes animal cruelty.
2. We ask that the use of animal carcasses be prohibited from use in movies as props.
3. We ask for certification to be required by law, of any film that uses animals, that no animals were injured or harmed during the filming of that movie.
4. We ask that any film distributed in the United States, regardless of where that film was produced, abide by the requested animal protection legislation.

Please accept our sincere gratitude for having taken the time to read our letters, and for all you may be able to do to protect animals used in films distributed in the United States.
With respect,
[Your Name]
