Taking things a bit too far

According to the IMDB's trivia page for The Shawshank Redemption:

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals monitored the filming of scenes involving Brooks' crow. During the scene where he fed it a maggot, the ASPCA objected on the grounds that it was cruel to the maggot, and required that they use a maggot that had died from natural causes. One was found, and the scene was filmed.

Protecting maggots? Oh, come on!

Why not, the American Bar Association has been protecting maggots for years.
