LOS ANGELES: An animal rights advocate has filed a lawsuit against US cable television network HBO, alleging that horses used in the filming of its series Luck often were drugged, sick and underweight.
Plaintiff Barbara Casey also sued her former employer, the American Humane Association (AHA), for allegedly covering up the animals’ mistreatment.
“AHA bowed to political and financial pressure and refused to report the production defendants’ conduct to the authorities,” the suit filed earlier this week claimed, according to reports.
