Bless the Beasts & Children (1971) Trailer

[clocktime11]

The country singer Gentry of Montgomery/Gentry shot a bear in a cage with a bow, and tried to say he hunted it down in the wild after he had it stuffed for his frigging living room so he could brag to his children what a great hunter he was, look at their careers now....in the toilet. Animal rights are a popular and right thing to promote now. Animals need our protection.

Capturing and killing Buffalo has prevented their extinction.

Billy Mummy was hot back then.

[monicasuetannehill]

the argument never ends. only these days - the bad guys seem to be winning.

[cheapcape]

Well the shooting scenes were NOT fake and that's disturbing. Anyone who enjoys murdering animals for fun alone is a sick fuck! Great movie.

[HumblePie76]

You dumb fucks. This interview is supposed to be fake. It's a trailer for the movie.

[monicasuetannehill]

@HumblePie76 the movie was not a fictitious movie - it was a docudrama. Not the same as the church people saying harry potter books use REAL MAGIC SPELLS. LOL!!!

[ChristopherJacques]

@monicasuetannehill Church people don't say that, Bible thumpers do.

[Dragonfly6160]

Pretty good movie

I doubt that any legitimate organization would have the word "Cult" in their name. Even then the word cult was associated with the "Manson Family" as well as "The Moonies" and the "Hare Krishnas". It would have been more believable if the organization was called "The American Gun Club". I'm an animal rights wacko (and proud of it) and I thought this trailer was more fake than professional wrestling.

find the tv spot for this movie

[beeprobins]

Actually, I thought the "offical" did some mighty bad acting. Either that, or they made him look like a Doofus on purpose.

I guess that was the whole point of this ad--to make the adults look like morons and the teens look like caring, compassionate individuals.

[NVanWendy]

Watch the movie, then see how you feel.

[battlestarmarc]

hopefully, someday the hunter will become the hunted.

[templeowl08]

oh come on that guys totally faking this interview

[SaganAppreciationSoc]

Indeed. Not the best way to create the illusion of controversy.

[alamo1960]

Boy do I remember this film. In High School we showed in in it's entirety after a condensed version was shown in Junior year English. They had a spokesperson from AZ Game And Fish Dept. come in and explain it. Of course it struck a nerve with us kids at the time, but the truth is the only animals shot were diseased. Now we have more Buffalo that we can handle due to careful management. Also, the Buffalo shot in the film were shipped to CA loaded on barges for the film shoot on Catelina Island.

[SaganAppreciationSoc]

Well it's nice to know the the Fish and "Game" parts of the government come into schools to brainwash kids.

If you think only diseased animals are shot, you need to read the news.

>Also, the Buffalo shot in the film were

> shipped to CA loaded on barges for the film

>shoot on Catelina Island.

Not according to other sources. You took the hook, line and sinker.

[alamo1960]

I must correct a comment I posted. The Buffalo were not shipped to Catalina. This was stock footage used in the film.

Sagan, we are talking about the late 60's and very early 70's. Game management brought this endangered species back to life again.

Also, this "Trailer" isn't a trailer, but a PSA sponsored by anti-gun activists.

I've never heard of a "Gun Cult Association".

Go back to "Lost In Space".

[beeprobins]

The buffalo were actually shipped to Catalina Island for another movie made around 1920 or so and when that film was done, the producer left the animals there to spare the expense of shipping them back to the mainland. The Wrigley's, of gum fame, bought the herd and property and turned it into a tourist attraction with stables, etc. By time this movie came about, the herd had grown to a considerable size and it made a great substitute for the Arizona herd.

[sacrificaltotem]

err didn't it ring a bell that that the spokesperson from the az game and fish dpt came in and spoke about it? lol i mean come on

[beeprobins]

I commented on this one earlier. I wish someone could come up with more BB&C materials. I LOVE this film!!

[dadoodaidy]

I enjoyed seeing this. I loved the movie!
