Headline: Ridley Scott asked to stop using real animals on set of Gladiator 2
Caption: In letters addressed to Scott and actor Pedro Pascal obtained by the Los Angeles Times, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), urged the production to stop working with horses and macaque monkeys after allegedly receiving "whistleblower reports". "PETA and Animal Liberation Malta are not entertained after receiving whistleblower reports that Gladiator 2 is exploiting real macaque monkeys and forcing horses to work in direct sun, apparently in conditions so dire that one horse's leg gave out on set.”
