Slightly Silly Question: Anyone see any Animals in the BDM?

Were there ANY animals in the BDM? I didn't notice in the first viewing and on the second viewing I looked especially as they rode the Mule into the Bank Vault town. But I didn't see any animals. However, I did see the standard "animal action monitoring" notice from the American Humane Association in the credits. As a fan, I would have liked to see at least one horse and it would have been appropriate to the technology level of the Bank Vault town. But, I suppose that would've screamed "space western" rather that "SF action-adventure". Just wondering, though. *************** "'Course, there are other schools of thought."

I think I saw a big lizard thing in it. But I could be making that up. "My days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle."

A shot of goldfish opens a scene. And fish, the last time I checked, count as "animals". There may have been scenes shot with animals (horses, dogs, whatever) that never made it into the final cut of the BDM. It doesn't matter. If there are animals on the set, there will be reps from the Humane Society there, and the caveat will be on the screen. Which is fine and dandy by me. "Take me, sir. Take me hard." - Zoe

Thank you so much. The first time I saw the credits I was so puzzled. They have "wild animal trainer" and then right after that they have "animal trainer." All I could come up with was the iguana and the fish. So then I was trying to figure out which one counted as "wild" ------------------------------- Southeastern Browncoats www.southeasternbrowncoats.org ------------------------------- A good friend will bail you out of jail.

I didn't spot the rooster either, and it seemed to me that cocky lil bird (bad pun!) was in every episode somewhere... -F

The Animal Humane Society wasn't much on the job if you ask me. There was horrendous cruelty to animals as was made obvious by River's statement .... "I swallowed a bug." http://tv.groups.yahoo.com/group/MN-Firefly/

Oh, no. My sides hurt. I like Joss' answer from the "Joss Answers Questions" link: What did the two animal handlers mentioned on the end titles of Serenity contribute to the filming process?
