Paramount Network has denied PETA’s accusation that “Yellowstone” producers allowed real cow corpses to be “mutilated” on the set of its hit Kevin Costner western series, calling the claims “inaccurate.”
“Paramount Network takes animal safety very seriously and with utmost professionalism,” Kurt Patat, Paramount Network SVP of communications told TheWrap on Wednesday afternoon. “The production has taken necessary precautions to provide for animal safety and their well-being on set. All animals are monitored on set by professional handlers. We have been in touch with PETA which presented us with inaccurate claims that we were able to correct including no cows were killed or mutilated for the scene in question.”
