Animal Welfare on Movie Sets Continues to be Concern

Animals have been used and sometimes abused in films since the early days of movies.

Since 1940, the American Humane Association has worked to ensure that no animals are harmed in film production.

Mike O'Sullivan reports that the animal protection organization is expanding its work, while others question why animal actors are needed in the digital age.
