Up to 27 'Hobbit' animals died on unsafe farm

[NewsCaster]

Animal wranglers involved in the making of "The Hobbit" movie trilogy say the production company is responsible for the deaths of up to 27 animals, largely because they were kept at a farm filled with sinkholes and other "death traps." While the American Humane Association monitors film sets, it does not observe the facilities where the animals are housed and trained.
