Here's another reason to leave live, exotic animals out of the rigors of entertainment (circus, movie making, television, live events). This is the story of what happened to a petting zoo owner in Florida. She was attacked by a camel that had just been purchased. The camel was a bull and in rut, so it was not controllable. The camel went on to be sold to someone else, without any notice of it's past. It was a lose-lose deal for everyone concerned, even the camel!

Animal Makers just posted a few on-screen props used in the film, "Batman, The Dark Knight". These were seen in the amazing fight scenes shot in Chicago and London. Of the two props, one is heavy (like a real dog), and the other is lighter (so allow it to be attached to the Batman). Commissioned specially for the film. This art is created entirely of artificial materials. No animal was harmed during it's creation. Here's a LINK to see what's being offered.
