March 2, 2006 -- The makers of the gay cowboy flick "Brokeback Mountain" were too rough on sheep, an animal-rights group charged yesterday. In a letter to director Ang Lee, The Humane Society also complained about the way the horses and elk were treated.
"The excessively rough handling of the sheep and horses leaves viewers questioning whether anyone was looking out for the safety of those animals," the letter said.
"And many also wonder how the filmmakers got the elk to lose its footing and crumple to the ground 'on cue' after being shot."
A spokesman for the producer of the Best Picture-nominated movie, Focus Features, had no immediate comment.

Makers of movies shouldn't be hard on the animals they are working with. I'm sure it's a stressful event for them just making the movie.

They may have been tough on the sheep, but at least no beavers were injured in the making of the film.

I guess they make this charge because of the large amounts of boots found around the scenes where the sheep were.That and damage to the film workers shins.
