Subject: [anima-lista] Respuesta del Co-Director del festival de Toronto sobre
la película donde se tortura y mata a un gato


Respuesta del Co-Director del festival
(Traducción automática)

El festival ha recibido un número de email y de llamadas telefónicas en
cuestión, después de historias recientes de los medios, con respecto a la
CASUÍSTICA documental: El ARTE De MATAR Al Cat De A. La respuesta del
Co-Director del festival aparece abajo.

El grupo internacional del festival de la película de Toronto enfático
condena el abuso y la tortura de animales. La CASUÍSTICA documental: EL ARTE
DE MATAR AL CAT de A tiene como su tema un incidente de la vida real triste
y deplorable que dio una sacudida eléctrica y provocó sensaciones fuertes
entre mucha gente.

El documentary ni glorifica ni perdona la tortura de animales. No demuestra
cualquiera de la cantidad video real, gráfica de este acontecimiento
criminal. Incluye entrevistas con los que fueron ultrajadas por este
acontecimiento incluyendo el detective que manejó el caso así como
activistas confiados de los animal-derechos.La gente que han visto la
película * y ésa incluye a varios periodistas de Toronto y a nuestros
curators - indican que no permite el sitio de comprender las acciones de los
criminales condenados retratados en el documentary y no los demuestra
ciertamente para ser moral arruinado.

Las derechas de las audiencias de Toronto de enganchar a la discusión
significativa sobre las aplicaciones el día son inviolables. Los festivales
de la película existen, en parte, para generar la discusión inteligente,
razonada, no sofocarla. Sigue habiendo la decisión de programación del
festival para demostrar este documentary sin cambiar."

Carmelo,

The Festival has received a number of concerned emails and phone calls,
following recent media stories, regarding the documentary CASUISTRY: THE ART
OF KILLING A CAT. The Festival Co-Director's response appears below.

The Toronto International Film Festival Group emphatically condemns the
abuse and torture of animals. The documentary CASUISTRY: THE ART OF KILLING
A CAT has as its subject matter a sad and regrettable real-life incident
that shocked and provoked strong feelings among many people.

The documentary neither glorifies nor condones the torture of animals. It
does NOT show any of the actual, graphic video footage from this criminal
event. It does include interviews with those who were outraged by this
event including the detective who handled the case as well as committed
animal-rights activists. People who have viewed the film * and that
includes several Toronto journalists and our curators - indicate that it
certainly does not allow room to sympathize with the actions of the
convicted criminals portrayed in the documentary and shows them to be
morally bankrupt.

The rights of Toronto audiences to engage in meaningful discussion about the
issues of the day are inviolable. Film festivals exist, in part, to
generate intelligent, reasoned discussion, not to stifle it. The Festival
programming decision to show this documentary remains unchanged."

Please don't show Casuistry: The Art of Killing a Cat
To the organizers of the Toronto International Film Festival:

We are extremely upset that Linda Feesey's film, Casuistry: The Art of
Killing a Cat, is scheduled as part of the Film Festival.

As you know, the film discusses the notorious case of 2001 in which Jesse
Power, Anthony Wennekers, and Matt Kaczorowski videotaped themselves
torturing a cat. We would welcome efforts to raise awareness about this act
of cruelty and we have vowed the Kensington the cat's memory will never be
forgotten. However, you may not be away that the producer, Linda Feesey, is
an associate of the cat torturers'. (For example, her 2002 film, Mr. Kafka's
Holiday, starred Jesse Power's friend Jubal Brown, who was outspoken in his
support of Power during the cat video case.) Casuistry is another
opportunity for Power and his friends to defend their horrendous actions.
According to the review in the Toronto Sun, the film features many
apologists for the cat torturers. The killers show no remorse for their
crime.

By including this film in the Festival, you are not only condoning, you are
encouraging Jesse Power and his ilk in their actions of extreme,
premeditated and illegal cruelty to animals. We urge you to remove this film
from your programme.

Please let us know as soon as possible what action you will take.

If this film is aired as scheduled, we will be organizing protests and a
boycott of the Festival. We will also contact many of the celebrities who
might be planning to attend the Festival, and urging them not to come. (As
you are probably aware, many prominent celebrities support animal rights,
and will share our disgust with this film.)

Thank you for your consideration.

For the animals,

she is a creature,
more right has to that the man protects it of the cruelty of the man ".
