...your points simply are argumentative for argumentative sake and hardly need any answer.To reiterate my point - anyone who does that sort of stuff doesn't get my consideration and respect - my pillow and my shoes notwithstanding.
Or you want to make that shaky moral bridge from steaks and pillows to human skin lamp shades Maluta Skuratov?

Lol.
I realize that equating burning someone alive and eating some patties isn't the same, but -
1.I can hardly believe that Tarkovsky would do anything like that
2.I can hardly believe that Tarkovsky would do anything like that. 3.That is really sick
4.Not in this day and age, etc
but perhaps one can see a madman artist in that, who knows.
There was also an episode with the horse in Andrei Rublev, where the horse gets slashed and then falls backwards on it's ass(if it's a trick, it's a very clever horse).
I still think that this burning cow business is a something from the realm of the twilight zone.
I intentionally left the door open - I said that inless I hear a conflicting account... And wish such account comes along.There is always a bit of a madman in every good artst, so I am willing to cut them some slack. Perhaps if they stuck to cutting off THEIR parts...
BTW, it always amazes me what they can do in modern movies without hurting the horses, for example - yeah, I am talking about those "No aminals were injured..." messages at the end.
If the messages are true, and I have little reason to believe they aren't, given PETA everywhere, the stunts they now do are tremendous.
I have seen some animal trainers at work (on TV) and it is a lot of fun to watch what the animals can do when handled right.
So perhaps some animal trainers could share their experiences?
Speaking of which, there was a segment some time ago about a penguin that would every morning go to the local market for fish and stuff - I believe some place in Japan?. He has a back pack and everyone knows him, so the merchants put the items in his pack and he then brings them home. That was pretty funny to see the bird walk down the streets, busy and no-nonsense.
I would loved to have seen that. Where was it aired?

One of those programs on animals where they show short pieces on them. We don't watch them regularly, and just stumbled on this one.Good luck and perhaps someone here would be able to suggest the program name.
