James Cromwell, 'Babe' actor, arrested again in an animalist protest

El actor estadounidense James Cromwell, conocido por ser el protagonista de la cinta infantil 'Babe' (1995), fue detenido una vez más durante una protesta animalista, ha informado este jueves la revista People.

Cromwell is not only famous for his interpretive career but is also well known for being a tireless defender of animals through actions and protests that, on several occasions, have led him to be arrested.

Esta vez, el actor acudió a la Universidad Texas A&M, situada en la ciudad de College Station, para protestar contra los experimentos con perros que hacen en un laboratorio como parte de una investigación médica.

Cromwell was arrested, along with another man, for hindering a meeting of a board of that university and for disorder.At the bottom of this protest is the practice of the University of Apara Sick Dogs for Medical Research on Muscular Dystrophy.

The University stopped these practices in September after years of protests, the KBTX television network reported, but the Peta animalist organization ensures that there is still experimentation with dogs in that center that must cease as soon as possible.

"Texas A&M continúa atormentando a golden retrievers y otros perros pese a que décadas de estos experimentos no han llevado a una cura para las personas con distrofia muscular", ha dicho Cromwell en un comunicado.

"It's time to leave those dogs and my friends from Peta and I want them to go to good homes where they can live the rest of their lives in peace," he added.Cromwell's career, 79 and was nominated for Oscar for his interpretation in 'Babe', also includes roles in the series' The Young Pope 'and' American Horror Story 'as well as in the feature film' L.A.Confidential '(1997).

It is not the first time they stop Cromwell in relation to their activism.For example, the actor was arrested in 2017 during a protest in the SeaWorld theme Park of San Diego (USA.UU.) When he participated in a Peta action that interrupted a 'show' starring Orcas.And in 2015 it was also arrested for a protest against a power plant in New York.
