The owner of the bison, John Scott, said he did nothing wrong, but he does admit the animals were killed for use in the film.
"The fact that I'm a bison producer and I have the right to sell my bison wherever I want is a legitimate statement," he said.
"The fact that Longview Beef Jerky is a legitimate business that processes meat is a factual statement. They had a contract with the motion picture company and they came on to administer the processing of the carcasses the way that the company wanted."
Scott said real animals were used instead of props because the film wanted "skin coming off, the hide coming off."
The film The Solutrean by Studio 8 films is a book adaptation that follows a young man, 20,000 years ago, as he struggles against the elements to return to his tribe.
