MANY Are Boycotting ‘A Dog’s Purpose’ After Disturbing Video Footage Was Released

The upcoming film, A Dog's Purpose, had all the diehard animal lovers peaked with excitement. That is, until a dreadfully disturbing video was released. Moviegoers are now strongly boycotting this entire production.

 

This leaked footage, filmed in Winnipeg, Canada, shows a dog frantically struggling to avoid having to go into a pool of water.

In this video, it's apparent that the dog is frightened by the situation, but the dog handler forcefully continued to push him in and pull him out over and over.

In the video, you'll hear the handler say, "Don't worry, it's warm water at least. He ain't gonna calm down 'til he goes in the water. Just gotta throw him in."

The producers of this film released a statement saying that no animals were mistreated during the filming of A Dog's Purpose.

The American Humane Association (AHA) enforces strict safety guidelines for animals used in film. After reviewing the footage, they said that they were "disturbed and concerned."

"When the dog showed signs of resistance to jumping in the water, the scheme should have immediately been stopped. We are placing the safety representative who was on the set on administrative leave immediately and are bringing in an independent third party to conduct and investigation into this matter," a spokesperson for the AHA stated.
