27 animals die during Hobbit filming

Quote:
The producers of The Hobbit have come under fire from wranglers after 27 animals used on set during the filming of the trilogy have died.
While no animals were harmed during the actual filming, wranglers claim the production company is still responsible for the deaths because the animals were kept at a nearby farm filled with bluffs, sinkholes and other 'death traps'.
Four wranglers working with the animals claim they repeatedly raised concerns about the farm peppered with bluffs, sinkholes and broken-down fencing with their superiors and the production company, owned by Warner Bros., but it continued to be used.

Unacceptable that this is happening in the 21st century.
