Geeze! If you want a Most Violence Against Animal Award winner,
this is it. Let's see, a cow gets it's face punched in, a dog is tied
down and whipped viciously (and I mean mercilessly so), a
chicken fails to deliver eggs and gets it's neck wrung, and then a
horse suffers the same fate at the dog, another merciless
whipping. Luckily, Betty Boop was right next door, heard the poor
animals cries, and telephoned Grampy's animal rescue center.
Grampy comes racing to the rescue with a very flexible paddy
wagon (they have to be bendable - otherwise it wouldn't be a
Fleischer cartoon). The deviant alpha animal torturer is kidnapped,
thrown onto a treadmill, and, in that timeless eye-for-an-eye spirit,
whipped mercilessly in retribution. He sees what it's like to be
brutalized and tortured, and resolves to change his ways.
I always warn people about this one. It's definatly not for the faint of
heart. While the message, be kind to animals by being human
(hence the title), is indeed admirable and welcome, the leering
and exaggerated way that the violence is treated is questionable to
me. Maybe I'm just reading too much into it, but you never know...
