Animal rights group accused over Hollywood abuses

A view of the Hollywood sign from a street in a residential section of Hollywood, California, September 21, 2011 The Hollywood Reporter lists alleged incidents on movies including Ang Lee's Oscar-winning "Life of Pi," the "Pirates of the Caribbean" blockbusters and "The Hobbit: an Unexpected Journey," among others. Twenty-seven animals involved in the production of the first of Peter Jackson's "Hobbit" trilogy died, it said, also listing other incidents in which a chipmunk was squashed, a husky dog was punched, and fish died. But the American Humane Association (AHA) said the story "distorts the work and record of a respected nonprofit organization that has kept millions of beloved animal actors safe on film and television sets around the world." "The article paints a picture that is completely unrecognizable to us or anyone who knows American Humane Association's work," the group added in a statement.
