“It seems that living underground with the orcs is a normal thing for the producers of Rings of Power, because they have the possibility to use CGI, mechanical implants and other humane methods that would not kill the vulnerable horses on the set“, said Vice President Lisa Lange. “PETA is calling on the show’s creators – and all other producers – to embark on a new mission without using real horses. If they can’t avoid using animals for their art, they should find another means of communicationbecause no one wants to see a TV spin-off about torment.”
The second season of The Rings of Power should be out by 2024.
