Aaron Sorkin, writer and producer with credits like “The West Wing” and “A Few Good Men” under his belt, wrote an editorial in the Huffington Post decrying Sarah Palin‘s caribou killing on her TLC show “Sarah Palin’s Alaska.”

Sorkin, a meat eater, said there’s a difference between killing animals for food and doing so for sport, which he accused Palin of doing. Palin has since fired back in an email to the Associated Press.

He said:

“I’m able to make a distinction between you and me without feeling the least bit hypocritical. I don’t watch snuff films and you make them. You weren’t killing that animal for food or shelter or even fashion, you were killing it for fun. You enjoy killing animals. I can make the distinction between the two of us but I’ve tried and tried and for the life of me, I can’t make a distinction between what you get paid to do and what Michael Vick went to prison for doing. I’m able to make the distinction with no pangs of hypocrisy even though I get happy every time one of you faux-macho shitheads accidentally shoots another one of you in the face.”

“I hope it gets people to think – that’s really the intent of the film. I’m really not a person that likes to tell people what to do, or say what they should and shouldn’t do, but I feel like they haven’t been presented with this information – many people are just unaware of it – and I think, after they see this, if they go home and go “hm…” and begin to think about their diets and consider consuming more plant foods, that would be something I’d really like to see people get out of this movie. I hope to see the diet change in this country. We’ve tried the animal-based diet and it really hasn’t worked out for us, so I’m hoping to see us trend toward a more plant-based diet because I think it’ll be better for people’s health and for the planet.”

Michael Bay, producer of Transformers, is reported to have offered $50,000 for information leading to the arrest of a young woman who was videotaped throwing live puppies into a river.

The video has been spreading like a virus since it was discovered, as well as contempt for the woman.

A statement was placed on Bay’s official website, but was since taken down. However, screen shots of the statement are still available.

“Michael Bay has informed me that he is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and successful prosecution of the woman in the red sweatshirt and the person who shot this act of cruelty,” the statement, written by Bay’s webmaster, reads.

According to The First Post, the suspected woman, who’s name was reported as Katja Puschnik, loaded a video containing an apology.

Will a movie about a solider returning home from war and working in a slaughterhouse turn everyone at the box office veggie? If they’re anything like the assistant director to Ryan Piers Williams‘ film The Dry Land, it might.

The assistant director gave up eating meat after filming a live slaughter of a cow during the movie, according to Contact Music.

Williams told WENN, “The cow was slaughtered and we shot it documentary style. We went to this slaughter house before we started shooting and that cow was going to be slaughtered on that day and we documented it. It was very brutal to watch and to witness.”
