In the early part of the 20th century Hollywood studios weren't too concerned with minor details like "safety" or "animal rights." It was all about the bottom line. Unfortunately this put countless humans and animals in harm's way, and on the set of the 1941 film "They Died with Their Boots On" (the irony of that title is not lost on us) a total of three men lost their lives. Honestly, we're surprised it wasn't more.
