University of Victoria professor Michael M'Gonigle published a series of articles in The Tyee during the leadup to and during the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference in December 2009, which took the view that no deal was better than a weak agreement.

I sincerely hope that they do not use live alanims in this movie. The reason is that many of the alanims used and abused are owned by alanims trainers or circuses who are less than kind to these alanims. The cruelty to the alanims that this author writes about in her book DOES exist and continues to go on presently! Why would you then hire these same people to make a movie about how cruel this industry is? Perhaps Rob Pattinson can make a difference and actually bring a change in the industry by advocating for no live alanims to be used in this movie. Computer animation has come a long way such as Jumanji, The Golden Compass and The Lions, The Witch and the Wardrobe movies it is not necessary to use and abuse live alanims any longer. Can this movie be a catalyst for change???
