Each year, screenwriters kill off enough offscreen children to fill a Chuck E. Cheese. A dead son or daughter gives a movie the illusion of depth plus an easy explanation for whatever the script ladles on the surviving parents. Binge-drinking? Nymphomania?

The animal advocacy org takes its duties as sexy-vegan steward very seriously. One honor it doles...
