Were Animals Killed Making "The Hobbit"? Sometimes it seems that PETA is an organization promoting nudity. At least this might be the impression that a casual viewer might get from many of their ads. However, PETA does stand for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and so their actual cause is the welfare of animals. So, it would stand to reason that PETA members might be concerned about animals being mistreated or killed during the production of a movie. Although PETA is not mentioned in this news clip, there's little doubt that the organization will issue a public statement regarding these allegations within a day or two if it hasn't already done so!
