1. AFI Think Tank Legal Issues Regarding Safety of Performers in the Adult Film Industry by Maria de Cesare October 27, 2006 UCLA Think Tank

2. AFI Think Tank “...During production of the 1997 movie ‘Mimic,’ American Humane Association Representatives wandered through the Los Angeles set, ensuring that a herd of cockroaches was well taken care of. Licensed animal handlers were to follow state and federal anti- cruelty laws designed to protect the insects, which had been trained to swirl around actress Mira Sorvino's feet. The roaches had to be fed at a certain time. They could only work a few hours each day. They could not be harmed. At the same time, in studios in the San Fernando Valley, scores of other actors and actresses were working on movies. They put in long hours, commonly without meal breaks. They often worked without clean toilets, toilet paper, soap or water. More importantly, they were exposed to a host of infectious, and sometimes fatal, diseases.” * Source: P.J.
