Current Events > Outrage after Lena Dunham Show uses REAL DEAD CATS in HS BIOLOGY Scene!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Lena Dunham's new HBO Max show "Generation (Genera+ion) that describes itself as a ultra-realistic portrayal of a high school is coming under fire after they used REAL DEAD CATS for a biology class dissection scene causing 2 extras to BARF and walk off set!!

The controversy unfolded when a user posted about a friend in the industry who said someone brought in real dead kittens for background dissection on set with no warning and people were TRAUMATIZED

According to Variety, 2 background actors were so disturbed by the cat cadavers that they walked off set and threw up

That same user also posted that one of the cameramn also tested positive for COVID-19 and said the cast should have been told earlier rather than waiting until the end of day 2

HBO Max addressed the controversies and reiterate that the show strives to depict "the unfiltered experiences of high school students and is drawn from many formative moments in the lives of the show's writers" referring to 19 y/o Zelda Barnz and her father Daiel

They said the production filmed scenes depicting a classroom assignment involving dissection of animal specimens as they were ethically sourced in consultation with American Humane, a biological supply company that works with schools

HBO also confirmed that every actor was informed of the real cat cadavers would be used in advance and it would be a sensitive scene involving a real disection as they had assistant directors who checked regularly on the welfare of those on set and confirmed 2 "student" actors walked off with full pay

However, after discussion with the creative team, they decided to CUT the scene from the series and they deeply regret the decision

The twitter user however said they were told they were dissecting frogs but showed up with dead kittens and were expected to stay with contradicted the statement

Dunham said "I am committed in my life and work to the principled, humane and ethical treatment of animals. I don't use animal cadavers in any of my work, ever, and i was not on set or aware that they were used in a recently shot scene depicting a biology classroom assignment. i fully support the scene being edited out of the show"

Reaction online has been DIVIDED as others said the dissection of cats were REAL in american schools but thought it was DISGUSTING to still use cats in the scene while others said the use of real cats is realistic in terms of high school biology as many schools did use them in their biology classes

Do you think using real life dead cats in this scene was wrong?

That pedophile shouldn't have a career anymore. Why the fuck hasn't she been canceled yet?

No

But I'm always on board for hating on the sister molester

---

She sure got fat after binge eating when Hillary lost

---

Its like nobody on Twitter did biology.

---

Who gave this bovine a show?

---

At university, we dissected a whole host of things.

Including on one memorable occasion, roadkill marsupials.

Possums and kangaroos and wombats, oh my!

Pro tip: hind guy fermenters smell godawful when you cut them open. Particularly if theyve been in the hot sun for a few days.

There was also the live cane toad dissection, but we pithed them first.

Remember how when she admitted to molesting her sister (not talking to the shit when she was a little kid, but the stuff she said she did when she was much older). I guess she isn't a wacky conservative so it is ok.

Dunham is a piece of shit, but there is literally nothing wrong with dissecting a dead cat in a biology class

I had to dissect a REAL DEAD CAT in MY HIGH SCHOOL ANATOMY class.

So these dead cats were probably donated after passing for science like the ones real classes use, and were probably used properly afterwards. This was probably just cheaper and easier than making fake dead cat bodies that looked real.

I'm no more bothered than I generally am about all the ways people desecrate animal corpses. The subterfuge, dicking around workers, and COVID-19 violations definitely take focus here.

pretty sure a lot of liberals hate her

Lena Dunham was a big proponent of #BelieveAllWomen

Then after a black woman came forward and accused Lena's friend of rape, she called the victim a liar.

Not surprisingly, that gained no traction.
