How does Ray substantiate his arguments?, Ray substantiates his arguments that no one can beat Hollywood in making films with, animals by citing examples from his personal experiences. He remembers certain films in, which the main characters were dogs. He says that there was an Alsatian dog named Rin-tintin whose acting was more impressive than a human actor’s. He also remembers another, collie dog called Lassie. The directors could make Lassie play whatever role in a film. These, animal actors were famous stars and had human stand-ins. The money they earned was not, less than what a real film star got. In Hollywood what we think impossible has been made, possible - making trained ravens act in films — as in the film ‘Birds’ by Alfred Hitchcock.
