If it involves animals (especially horses) and it's sad, then I'd better stay away!
I'm still traumatized by seeing Ole Yeller!

Dude.....you know those ASPCA or Humane Society ads on TV? I have to change the channel! 
I'm exactly the same including the Old Yeller comment.
My grand-uncle was in the veterinary core during the Great War and when I asked him what he did he looked very sad and said, "We'd push the guts back in, stitch them up and flog them to pull the guns further".

They showed that in the movie. They would work those animals until they drop from exhaustion and then shoot em. Lot of mud and they would pull those heavy guns up hills with a team. Even tanks had to be pulled by team of horse out of the mud. Horrable war, just horrable. The amount of death was staggering, battles with thousands of men on both sides being killed in one day of battle.
Thus the term old maid coin after that war, many women in Germany and England from that generation never married because the shortage of young men. Many young women married much older men back then.
The machine guns were deadly but most of the carnage was from artillery fire, mortars. They used so much artillery that they could drop those shells in a pickle barrel. literally dead on ranging.

I don't believe I can watch that movie. I have put down too many animal friends - just as in Ole Yeller.
Nope it is out for me as well
