People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) asked the New Zealand government to investigate allegations that twenty-seven animals used for the movie died due to poor living conditions. Claims also include: sheep falling into sinkholes, chickens being mauled by unsupervised dogs, a horse falling over a steep embankment, and another one being left on the ground for three hours after being hobbled. PETA says that instead of "vainly defending himself", Peter Jackson should be giving a "firm assurance that this will never happen again". They also called Jackson a "CGI master", stating that he could easily make convincing CGI animals, instead of using actual ones. Sir Peter Jackson denied these allegations in a press conference several hours before the premiere of this movie, stating that there was "absolutely none; no mistreatment, no abuse". Warner Bros. also released a statement, which joined Jackson in denying the allegations, questioning the timing, and claiming the primary source of the allegations could be traced to freelance animal wranglers, who were dismissed by the production over a year earlier "for cause".
