chicken: (26. Chicken Run Timothy Spall)

So we went to see Valiant this weekend. Not bad, not bad. Not nearly as good as *ahem* CHICKEN RUN, but still decent.

But anyway, at the end of the film there was an on-screen message about how there is actually an award for animal bravery during wartime, the Dickin Medal, given out to 32 messenger pigeons, 18 dogs and 3 horses ... and ONE CAT.

And we all said, "I wonder what the cat did?"

Well, now I know what the cat did. Furry little rat-killing, morale-boosting predator.

Ah, I was feeling the cat-love.

Of course I think some of this so-called bravery is more like animal cruelty (Iike the thing where a dog died picking up a grenade in its mouth and running, before a group of wounded soldiers could get killed by the grenade). Geez, humans! *sigh*

So sad that he died before getting his medal, though.

He was probably like Kevin Costner in "Waterworld" and couldn't get used to solid ground under his feet. He needed the rocking of the sea.
