To express our great sadness over the orgy of Animal cruelty in "Jackass Number Two"

We wish to express our revulsion at the disregard for animals that were obviously terrorized and tortured in the production of "Jackass Number Two". We are under no illusion the this film is expected to pass some cultural test or be anything other than what it is, but will not sit silently when any movie studio includes recreational cruelty of the animal kingdom in any of it's products like a Roman Amphitheater. Shame on you.
Bulls with testicles in a vice to drive them into a frenzy so they would charge into obstacles like steel beams not once but time after time,
Anacondas buried in a pit of toy balls being manhandled so they would repeatedly bite cast members (don't snakes die of shock when frightened in captivity), artificially created stampedes driven into houses, cars, and other structures, and a DEFANGED Cobra being tossed back and forth at stars without regard to the snakes safety. Where does one get a defanged Cobra to use as a party gag?
