I hate seeing any animals hurt or killed in film or books. <br /><br />Maybe because we know authors do terrible things to people for the sake of the story, and we know it's all made up. But animals are unexpected, and most of us have a heartbreaking memory about losing a pet. We don't see it coming so it hits us harder in a vulnerable spot.<br /><br />Animals are like children. They're the ultimate innocents. But then, I cried at the end of Godzilla when the killed the big lizard, so I might just be a softie when it comes to this :)Janice Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02356672149097741248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4371724012560597842.post-4464032986991005622010-09-04T10:58:37.645-05:002010-09-04T10:58:37.645-05:00Too funny!

And it's always central to the plot, and is gut wrenching, but important for the story. I say, if it's important to your story keep it in.Danielle Zappavignahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10493099952285137131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4371724012560597842.post-38521391739791188922010-09-03T23:09:14.005-05:002010-09-03T23:09:14.005-05:00I'm not going to lie, I'd be heartbroken i...I'm not going to lie, I'd be heartbroken if I read a book where a cat died. I guess it depends on how much the cat is described, what type of scene it's in and the obvious important. If the little girl saw the cat die, then it wouldn't be so bad if our MC killed a cat, it makes it worse. Just my thoughts!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803751424984029342noreply@blogger.com
