Film & TV Unit

In monitoring more than 1,000 productions every year, American Humane’s Film & TV Unit encounters a remarkable variety of productions as well as animal actors. Some are trained to perform unusual feats, while others simply help create incredibly convincing illusions. In this area of the site, we share some of our favorite stories from our time on the set, giving you a glimpse of what it takes to entertain audiences while keeping animals comfortable and safe.
