Creature Comforts was originally a 1989 British humorous animated short film about how animals feel about living in a zoo, featuring the voices of the British public “spoken” by the animals. It was created by Nick Park and Aardman Animations. The film later became the basis of a series of television advertisements for the UK Electricity Board, and in 2003 a television series in the same style was released. An American version of the series was also made. The original 5-minute film Creature Comforts was conceived and directed by Nick Park and produced by Aardman Animations featuring the voices of British non-actors in the same vein as the “man on the street” Vox Pop interviews. It was produced as part of a series called Lip Synch for Channel 4. The film won Nick Park the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 1990. The film shows various animals in a zoo being interviewed about their living conditions. These include turtles, a female gorilla, a family of polar bears, and a melancholic Mountain Lion who complains about the “lack of space” and the “grass with pollen that gives me hay fever every day!” The dialogue was created by interviewing residents of a housing development, an old people’s home and a family that lived in a local shop (the polar bears). Clay animation was then created that attributed the answers to zoo animals. One of the most popular characters was the Mountain Lion. He was in fact a Brazilian student who lived in a hotel and was talking about his …

As in the video, PETA does put dogs down due to people not spay, neutering and adopting. I am not a peta member and do not agree with all they do, but am Vegan because using animals today is simply unncessary. If you dont like peta, try my favorite groups Vegan Outreach, MFA, COK or just keep it about the animals. Factory Farms are sick and unsanitary (swine pig flu, egg recall, downed cows, hormones, antibiotics pumped into diary and chickens) regardless. Vegans also help the Environment (greenhouse gases and wasted resources), our Health care system (heart disease leading killer even if thin and fit) and reduce World Hunger, while animals are inefficently well fed with our corn and grains people go hungry. 1lb of meat per 10lbs of grain on average. GoVeg.com/theissues.asp fast facts! Critics often do nothing for animals so are not credible. They represent the factory farm industries for greedy profits. I also served in the Peace Corps, the military even has veggie mre’s now. Just 1 vegetarian or vegan can save 1000’s of mammals from suffering in a lifetime, more than PETA has ever put down. veganoutreach.org/video (must see videos) VeganVet.net VegetarianDogs.com VeganHealth.org (Dietician) VeganBodyBuilding.com FamousVeggie.com (Einstein, Newton, Gandhi, Franklin, MLK son and wife…)

Caring, concerned viewers, welcome to Animal World: Our Co-Inhabitants. Today on the Stop Animal Cruelty series we will meet a member of the New Zealand-based animal protection group Save Animals From Exploitation or SAFE. As swine flu cases rapidly spread worldwide, the media have been focusing on the cause of the pandemic. The source is no mystery; the problem stems from the factory farming of pigs, chickens and other animals. Groups and individuals around the globe are working non-stop to protect the lives of the gentle beings trapped in these cruel, intensive agricultural systems. In New Zealand, for example, SAFE is conducting the LovePigs Campaign to raise awareness about the extremely inhumane living conditions of pigs on factory farms, and to ask the public to stop buying pig-based products. Now let’s hear from SAFE’s Campaign Director Hans Kriek, who will explain why we should care about the lives of these beautiful beings… Video Rating: 0 / 5

Answer by jitterbug I’ve notice that too. Now you can have insurance on your pet. This is insane. So many americans don’t have insurance. I will never understand this logic.
