![]() Join the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf the wizard and the Company of Dwarves on their Quest to recover treasure stolen by the Dragon, Smaug the Magnificent. We are currently investigating these new allegations and are attempting to speak with all parties involved to establish the truth.This official tie-in photo guidebook is packed with exclusive photographs and in-depth text offering a sneak peek at the highly anticipated new film The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, directed by Peter Jackson. We regret that some of these accusations by wranglers who were dismissed from the film over a year ago are only now being brought to our attention. No animals died or were harmed on set during filming. The American Humane Association (AHA) was on hand to monitor all use of animals by the production. Over fifty five per cent of all shots using animals in The Hobbit are in fact computer generated this includes horses, ponies, rabbits, hedgehogs, birds, deer, elk, mice, wild boars, and wolves. Extraordinary measures were taken to make sure that animals were not used during action sequences or any other sequence that might create undue stress for the animals involved. The producers completely reject the accusations that twenty seven animals died due to mistreatment during the making of the films. This includes hundreds of thousands of dollars that were spent on upgrading housing and stable facilities in early 2011. Any incidents that occurred that were brought to their attention as regards to this care were immediately investigated and appropriate action taken. The producers of The Hobbit take the welfare of all animals very seriously and have always pursued the highest standard of care for animals in their charge.
