PATSY AWARDS
What do Tonto the cat
(from the Movie “Harry &
Tonto”), Elsa the lioness
(from the TV series “Born
Free”), and Alpha the
dolphin (from the movie
“Day of the Dolphin”) have
in common?
Aside from being in show
business, they’re all past
winners of the PATSY
Awards, the animal equiva
lent of an “Oscar.”
Now in their 25th year, the
PATSY (for Picture Animal
Top Star of the Year or
Performing Animal Tele
vision Star of the Year)
Awards were originated by
the American Humane As
sociation to highlight note
worthy performances by
animals in motion pictures
complying with the Ameri
can Humane Association
standards.
The awards are designed to
show that kind treatment and
training of animals

household pet - can produce

the desired behavior just as
efficiently as punishment or
fear.
The AHA has been interest
ed in the use of animals in
movies and television since
1939. That year they esta
blished a permanent Holly
wood office in response to
public outcry triggered by
the death of maiming of
animals in the movie “Jesse
James.”
The next year the AHA
arranged for members of the
motion Picture Association
of America to consult AHA
representatives on all film
making connected with ani
mals, and for AHA super
vision of animal action in
films. The AHA succeeded in
getting additions to the
Motion Picture Production
Code that prohibited use of
props like the Running W,
designed to produce a
spectacular fall by tripping a
horse at a full gallop.
The American Humane
Association still monitors the
entertainment industry, but
is is a difficult task. Today’s
filmmakers prefer on-loca
tion filming, making super
vision extremely expensive
for AHA. And in 1966, the
movie industry dropped the
section of the Motion Picture
Production Code dealing with
the use of animals in films.
With no code for guidance
and a growing number of
independent filmmakers,
there are increasing oppor
tunities for exploitation of
animals in films.
In an attempt to keep the
public informed of animal
misuse and abuse, the AHA
publishes a monthly list of
films containing a significant
amount of animal action.
Films are identified as
acceptable or unacceptable,
depending on the treatment
the animals received during

filming.
In acceptable western for
instance, rearing horses
must land solidly on the front
feet, with no falling over
backward. In scenes requir
ing horses or other animals
to jump through windows,
the panes must be a “candy”
glass, surrounded by a
breakaway frame. Such
movie props, combined with
special photography and use
of trained animals, make
cruelty to animals unneces
sary for special effects.
A wide variety of movies
and television shows have
won PATSY Awards. Win
ners have starred in west
erns. nature films and even
comedies like “Breakfast at
Tiffany’s,” a 1962 film that
featured a cat belonging to a
character portrayed by Au
drey Hepburn.
Each year, first, second
and third place awards are
presented for movies and
television. Occasionally
special awards also go to
stars of commercials.
The winner of the first
PATSY Award in 1951 was
Francis, the talking mule
from the movie of the same
name. Movie winners in
other years have included:
Samantha the goose in
“Friendly Persuasion”
(1957); Spike the dog in “Old
Yeller” (1958); Pyewachet
the cat in “Bell, Book and
Candle” (1959); Syn, the
Siamese cat in “That Darn
Cat” (1966); Elsa the lioness
in “Born Free” (1967);

November Weather Con
tinued:
When I returned from Las
Vegas Last Thursday, all I
could hear was, “You sure
left at a good time.”
Actually, though, they did not
know that the week end of
Thanksgiving the tempera
ture dropped to 25 degrees in
Las Vegas, but it did warm
up a little later.
Now, about the Jackson
and Butts County weather.
The temperature reached a
new low for the Fall and
Winter of 1976 and ’77, when a
low of 17 degrees was
recorded on the final day of
the month. Fortunately it
rose two degrees the follow
ing morning, to 19.
The holiday weekend was a
wet one with a total of two
inches falling in the three day
period, Friday, Saturday and
Sunday. In the earlier report
“Ben” (1973); and Alpha the
dolphin in “Day of the
Dolphin” (1974).
The first animal star to win
an award for a television
appearance was Lassie in
1958. Lassie also carried off
the top honor in 1959 and 1964.
Recent first prize winners
have included Arnold the pig
from “Green Acres”; Scruf
fy the dog in “The Ghost and
Mrs. Muir”; and Midnight, a
cat that has appeared in
“Mannrx” and “Barnaby
Jones.”
CARD OF THANKS
I would like to express my
sincere thanks to everyone
who was so good to me while
I was in the hospital and
since returning home. Your
expressions of love through
cards, visits, flowers and
other kind deeds shall always
be remembered. --Tenella

we had 3.02 for the month,
adding the extra two inches
gave us 5.02 inches of rain

which gave them 49.10 for the
month.
