Animal rights group urges film and television productions to use CGI in place of living creatures

The animal rights group Peta has condemned the use of live animals on set after a horse died during the production of Amazon’s television series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.

The horse had a cardiac arrest on 21 March, while the fantasy spin-off was rehearsing for its second season in the UK.
