Animal cruelty

In 2010, Dutch behavioral biologist Maarten 't Hart, hired by Herzog for his expertise of laboratory rats, revealed in the TV program Zomergasten, that after witnessing the way in which the rats were treated, he no longer wished to cooperate. Apart from travelling conditions that were so poor that the rats, imported from Hungary, had started to eat each other upon arrival in the Netherlands, Herzog insisted the plain white rats be dyed gray. In order to do so, according to 't Hart, the cages containing the rats needed to be submerged in boiling water for several seconds, causing another half of them to die. The surviving rats proceeded to lick themselves clean of the dye immediately, as Hart had predicted they would. Hart also implies sheep and horses that appear in the movie were treated very poorly, but does not specify this any further.   In the TV program, he called Herzog´s behavior  "immoral".
