Dustin Hoffman is still bummed that HBO canceled his show “Luck” in the middle of the first season. Three horses died during filming, and the network decided to pull the plug amid much backlash.

Hoffman did not mince words when he talked to Fox recently, laying the blame squarely at the feet of PETA and the gossip site TMZ.

“It’s completely distorted,” he said. “Anyone who raises horses knows they break their legs.”

The actor went on to further diss the animal-rights group: “I think they were looking to get contributions. Someone should make a movie about them.”
