The film and media industry uses animals in visual productions, including films, television programmes, advertising, and digital media. Animals are trained, managed, and transported for use in scripted scenes, promotional content, and live-action performances.

Although animal welfare standards vary across productions and jurisdictions, the underlying structure remains consistent: animals are treated as production assets integrated into commercial media projects.
