Action Alerts Comedy Shows Dog Flushed Down Toilet Unfortunately the movies are again mining laughs from animal cruelty.
The tv stations SPECIFICALLY EXTRACT those portions of the films as
commercial 'draws.' Right now the TV stations are airing a cat sprayed with
water and subsequently frozen in the snow (CHRISTMAS WITH THE KRANKS), a
small lizard is slapped off a man's hand and goes flying (THE LIFE AQUATIC)
and a small dog accidentally jumps into an open toilet bowl, struggles to
get out - and is flushed down the toilet (MEET THE FOCKERS)...all for a
laugh. These commercials are on at all times and can easily be seen by children
(they shouldn't be seen by adults either). Please contact the following tv stations in and urge them to remember
that if you teach children that cruelty is funny, you'll have cruel
children. - CBS CHANNEL 2: CONTACT THEM VIA THEIR WEBSITE -

her dog. "We were so gratified that Ms. Streisand agreed to help us reach

not appear in a film showing a dog flushed down the toilet for a laugh) can
