In the past, animals were often hurt, even killed, when films were made. Horses suffered most.

  A favorite scene showed horses falling head over heels. A device called the Running W was sometimes used. Long, fine wires were fastened to bands on a horse's front legs and to a log buried in the ground. The horse was made to gallop. The wires tightened, pulling its front legs from under it. Sometimes a pit was dug. Plants hid the opening. The horse would lose its footing when it hit the trench. Such cruel practices are less used today. But still there are films in which animals have been mistreated. Humane societies list these films as unacceptable.
