"H" is humane

The issue of humane handling of animals in Brokeback Mountain is noted in Wikipedia.

From Wikipedia:

The American Humane Association raised concerns that animals were treated improperly during filming, alleging that sheep were handled roughly and that an elk appeared to have been "shot on cue", suggesting further that the animal was anesthetized for this purpose, violating standard guidelines for animal handling in the film industry.

From the description of "Story to Screenplay" on the Simon & Schuster website:

Annie Proulx has written some of the most original and brilliant short stories in contemporary literature, and for many readers and reviewers, Brokeback Mountain is her masterpiece. Now the major motion picture "Brokeback Mountain" is being hailed as equally masterful, with performances that are "the stuff of Hollywood history" (The New York Times). Brokeback Mountain: Story to Screenplay offers readers insight into how this classic short story was turned into an award-winning screenplay and film.

When Alma asked Ennis if Jack would like a cop of coffee, he nonsensically replied that Jack was from Texas.

The storyline in the movie, Brokeback Mountain, differs only slightly from the short story.
