Cute! I’m not sure if fans voted on this or not, but either way I think it’s cool. Twilight is friendly to the animals! They won not only for being friendly to animals but by being the MOST Animal Friendly Movie. Good to know. What do you think of Twilight winning the Libby Award?

Um, is this funny to anybody else? Isn’t Twilight about a group of vampires who KILL ANIMALS????
abbi

um…they eat animals. I don’t get it. They call themselves vegetarians but it’s a joke.
Crime Professor

I don’t get why they won this award, they EAT animals.

Seriously, where and how were any animals involved to protect in this movie or anything remotely close?
Susan

I’m pretty sure it is because Bella eats veggie burgers and mushroom ravioli and at one point tells her dad it would be healthier if he skipped the steak and ate a salad. The reason that stuck with me is because I am a vegetarian, so I notice if a character eats like that too.
Nikki

Got to love the irony in this award.
AnitaX

I’d rather eat humans! XD hahaha really… Animals never..
But still I don’t get this.. XD weird XD
Autumn

Someone asked about what animals to protect… there are real shots of deer in the movie. That’s my guess. The camera crew worked very hard to get close-up shots of the deer in natural habitats. It mentions that in the Movie Companion.
Kelly E

err… kind of ironic when Edward “eats” a deer in one of the first scenes, don’t you think?
Emerald

WTF. Edward chases down a deer and eats it in one of the very first scenes.
Kayla

Yes, because we all know that killing animals and drinkong their blood is totaly animal-friendly.
jaynee

I think it’s cool that the movie won that, but really… haha they eat animals . So wouldn’t that defeat the purpose of winning “most animal friendly movie?”
Haley

Ummm…in the movie they killed an animal & unless they’re having a really bad hangover they would be sensible enough to think straight!
emily

emm apart from that deer at the start there was no animals even envolved…ha that deer must of been treated like a king lol
Lily

I’m with everyone else. I have no idea why they won this award especially since in the movie edward sucked the blood out of bambi. so i don’t understand this one at all! i would think that hotel for dogs would win this one.
B

I find it ironic especially since the very first scene in the movie you see Edward hunting a deer.
Rachel

seriously? hmm… ironic muchly?
they EAT animals and hunted that deer at the beginning of the film.
there weren’t even abny other animals in it.
and sure, they’re vegetarians but that’s a joke. like, seriously?
maybe they fell asleep during the movie and just woke up when edward says that they’re vegetarians. huh.
Alex

It’s Kinda Stupid Really.

The Whole Story Is About A Group Of Vampires That EAT ANIMALS!!! Did Peta Not Realise This?

Or Are They On About The Fact That There Were No Animals In The Film Except That Deer At The Beginning?

It’s Still Stupidly Ironic.

Haha.
Ann

Im a vegetarian and if I had to choose, I would rather eat an animal that was hunted and killed in a second, than to eat an animal that has been in captivity since the day it was born, taken from it’s mother, then brought to a slaughterhouse, terrified, because it knows it’s going to die.

Animals who are free don’t know when they are going to die. When someone shoots them, it happens so quickly that they don’t get a lot of time to be scared. They have lived a good life and they have been free for their whole lives.

I like that Bella is a vegetarian in the movie. She’s a good rolemodel.
larissa

I think it is great that they got this award. Idon’t care what other people say. Twilight rules!!!!!!!
Alexandria

I think that is very ironical… I think it’s so ironical that I very nearly laughed myself out of my chair! Did they miss the part about the vampires who KILL the animals and drink their BLOOD?? HAHAHAHAHA!
Catherine

Okay,for those confused people who haven’t seen twilight enough:
1.Haley Williams (Paramore) is a vegetarian and is kind of a helper for peta2.
2.The deer is DIGITAL.
3.The wolves were real,but they didn’t abuse them while filming.
4.Bella is a vegetarian in the movie.In the commentary,Catherine even said.

How do I know this?I’m on the peta2 street team,and,I’m a HUGE Twilight fan.I don’t care what people say.Twilight is the best thing to ever happen, and peta is trying to right the wrong.People just want to get everyone mad,so that they can get rid of Twilight and animals for good.
