Is it me, or is the Indiana Jones flicks full of cases of animal abuse? I have a few examples that I would like to discuss.
<b>Raiders of the Lost Ark</b>
1- The poor pack-mule who gets left tied to a tree. Either this beast of burden will slowly starve to death, die of the elements, or the Havitos will find him and have a feast. Either way, the poor ass is doomed.
2- Reggie. I have reason to believe that Indy most likely tossed poor Reggie over the side.
3- Speaking of snakes. What about all the purdy little asps that get burned alive in the Well of the Souls? They were just minding their own buisness, and someone felt the need to burn them just because of their greed over the Ark.
4- The monkey. It is clear that someone brainwashed the monkey into being a Hitler fanatic. Sure, it betrayed Marion, but still; it did try to give comfort to Indy after he thought her dead. Nobody mourned for it's passing. I did.
5- The dog. A defensless dog gets a melon smashed over it. What a pitiful squeak it lets out. So sad. So sad.
<b>Temple of Doom</b>
1- Nobody cared if the chickens had a parachute or life-raft to use. They were mindlessly clucking away until their firey and feathery death. What a waste of good fried chicken.
2- The absense of animals in the villages is distrubing. I shudder to think of what the villigers did to them. And, all their cattle died because of no Shankara Stones.
3- Not much to say that can't be seen about the dinner at Pankot Palace. We have dead beatles, snakes, and eels being ate alive. And, even more monkeys who meet a horrible, sad end. And, that one fat guy seems to enjoy it!
4- Just like the snakes, we have insects who are scattering about. Minding their own buisness, when some humans come in and crush them, and scream at them. I feel so bad for that huge stick-bug.
5- Some may think that the crocs had it okay at the end of the film. After all, they do get to munch on some Thuggee baddies. But, I looked a little deeper. All of the Thuggee that fell into the river were possessed by the blood of Kali. So, if the crocs ingested their blood; they too will be possessed. How horrid! A river full of crocs who worship Kali!
<b>Last Crusade</b>
1- First we see Herman, who spots a snake. Can't blame Herman for being afraid, but then Indy trots into the cavern and tosses the snake away! Why be so mean and careless to the poor, legless creature of the earth?
2- Well, we have giraffes who become confused by the people running past their heads. We have a rhino who gets hit on the head by a lantern (Lucky it was not lit), Indy lands in a vat of snakes; most likely squishing hundreds of them, and that poor lion who was just trying to greet Indy in a friendly manner. He gets a whip to his lion-face for his trouble.
3- Again we see another group of animals burned alive. This time it's rats. Have nobody any symphathy for the rats as they squeal and try to cling into Elsa's hair? They don't wanna be dead either!
So, all in all. These movies have a ton of animal abuse!
