The Maggot Dilemma
Brooks, an elderly guy who works in the jail library, owns a pet crow in the film. The American Human Association closely observed the sequences with the crow because they were working with a live animal. The AHA intervened in the moment where Brooks feeds his crow a maggot, arguing that it was harsh to the maggot and that they would have to use a maggot that had died naturally. Surprisingly, the production team discovered a maggot that met the AHA’s specifications, and the sequence was shot.
