About Betty Boop: Be Human (1936)
Be Human is a 1936 American animated short film starring Betty Boop and Grampy. It is now in the public domain.
Betty Boop is incensed at her farmer neighbor's cruelty to his animals. But the inventive Grampy knows how to teach him a lesson. The abusive farmer has been compared to Billy Joe Gregg, who abused numerous cows and calves at the Conklin Dairy Farms in Ohio in 2010.
