He's such a legend. It's cool! I didn't know Arthur Clark has positive veggie heroes. Only SF I knew to be pro vegan is Star Track. By the way, anybody know other pro veggie movies (except " Chicken Run " )? -------- Best regards, Sergio, CEO vegan http://www.royalwebhosting.com Royal Web Hosting - Royal Quality Hosting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 26, 2001 Report Share Posted June 26, 2001 Could Babe be considered a veggie movie? I never saw it. Just to clarify AC Clarke and Steve Baxtor are both SF authors, i.e. SB is not a hero in AC Clarke's book. I assume the klingons still eat meat as they're real men, grrrrrrr. RM ------ It's cool!

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2001 Report Share Posted June 26, 2001 Hi Sergio > Only SF I knew to be pro vegan is Star Track. Not sure ST is pro-vegan - I know it's all " replicated " , but they don't seem to worry too much about eating meat - in one of the films they had to cancel the fish course because some of the delegates were vegetarian! And don't Klingons constantly eath " Goch " ?(BTW, I'm not really a Trekkie - I just have a strange memory!) > By the way, anybody know other pro veggie movies (except " Chicken Run " )? Ummmmm - thinking about this.... " Babe " had some stuff to make meat eaters think! BB Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I worked with a couple of people who worked on it and though 'no animals were harmed in the making of this film' they said they weren't that caring with them. And they had to keep changing the 'Babe's cos they kept growing up, whether they went back to being fatted up for slaughter or got off with retirement I don't know. Sorry for sounding pessimistic, Jude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 26, 2001 Report Share Posted June 26, 2001 Hi Jude Re: Babe > In theory vegetarianism went up after Babe came out, so possibly. I think the film gave some " food for thought " about meat eating. > But I worked with a couple of people who worked on it and though 'no > animals were harmed in the making of this film' I always wonder how they can get away with putting that at the end of films - I mean, did none of the actors wear leather shoes, or anything with wool in it? I went to see " Babe 2 " , and was very disappointed - they had one scene where Babe was hanging by his feet from a bridge - didn't seem much like not harming animals to me!!!!!
