Ok, this on is a little out there...
There’s more than speed racing going on on the set of Emile Hirsch and Christina Ricci’s upcoming film. A chimp bit an actor on the set of “Speed Racer” — and there are allegations that the chimp was beaten.
“We are in receipt of information that may upset you,” PETA wrote to the producer Joel Silver, the man behind such megahits as the “Matrix” and “Die Hard” series. “We’ve received several troubling complaints from people who have been on the ‘Speed Racer’ set and report that the main chimpanzee ‘actor’ has been beaten and has bitten one of the human actors.” PETA urged Silver to stop using the live critters and switch to animatronics.

yanno, this....does not make me a happy camper at all...But I am so glad you put it out here...
People need to be aware that animals can be abused in the same exact way that human children and adults can...
Doesn't matter if they're a celebrity animal actor or the dog next door, people should know...
I'm a major advocate against greyhound racing and the inhumne treatment of race horses, both retired and actively racing ones...
This was a good read, and it was an excellent subject to post about...
Thanking you heaps,
Nick
