Animal Actors safe or not??

Animal Actors have been seen in many different movies such as Evan Almighty,Ace Ventura,and etc. One of the many specially trained people is Tonya Obeso.Her job is too watch over the animals and make sure their health is ok and their not too weak or sick to work. She has been in Moorpark College's Exotic Animal Teaching Zoo program.She gets to travel the world and be in a new environment every day. She makes sure the animals will arive on set and leave unharmed, and that its comfortable with its surrounding. She has to remind the camera crew not to chow down on juicy hamburgers when there is a tiger on set because it will have its temptations. Tonya says "One day we had 500 hissing cockroaches on set" she made sure they were protected.She is also in charge of keeping people safe from the animals.American Humane oversees more than 1000 film and television projects every year.
