| It all
began with a movie, and a little animated armadillo added in
"just for laughs". He was sweet, and adorable,
infinitely useful. He made audiences everywhere laugh
- and he got upstaged by a stupid horse who had half the
screen time.
Why?
The
question haunted me.
Why was such
an adorable, interesting, intelligent, helpful creature (and
talented actor) so utterly ignored? He had no place in
the credits... nothing. And yet the horse, who did
almost nothing and certainly had less screen time, received
his own acknowledgment in the credits. Why?
Is it
because we, as humans, find horses a nobler animal?
Should this discrimination extend even into the
entertainment realm?
No! It
shouldn't. But how would things change if no one was
there to fight for it? Someone must take a stand for
our small, ball-like friends. And that is how SERAA
was born. |
