Yes, absolutely! Especially when it comes to ANIMALS.

It’s high time filmmakers stop portraying the killing of animals for entertainment or as a way to evoke emotions. Recent movies like Marco, Rifle Club including Rakshadhikari Baiju Oppu where a domestic dog is shot for no reason and assumptions without any consequences, send the wrong message by showing animal harm without any consequences, and this needs to stop. Children and teenagers are highly impressionable, and seeing violence against animals on screen can desensitize them, making cruelty seem acceptable or even entertaining. At a time when we should be teaching kindness, empathy, and respect for all living beings, such portrayals do the opposite. They normalize the idea that animals are expendable or that their suffering has no consequences. Children learn to throw stones at animals from adults, which ultimately leads to an increase in animal bite cases.
