Historically, films relied heavily on live animal actors (e.g., Lassie , Rin Tin Tin ). While this popularized specific breeds, it also raised welfare concerns regarding training methods. Today, organizations like the American Humane Association monitor animal safety on sets. However, the industry is moving away from live animals toward CGI (Computer-Generated Imagery), allowing for more expressive storytelling without ethical compromise, as seen in films like The Jungle Book or The Lion King remakes.
