I always find it weird that people object to the animal cruetly in films like Cannibal Holocaust (which is still cut from the UK print) when they eat stuff like veal, faux gras and egges from battery chicks which in my opinion is just as cruel.
Don't get me wrong I don't really agree with the turtle getting killed for shock but its not like this is partially worse than what goes on all around the world.
I know the Men behind the SUn one is more of an exception as its one of the cute and clever animals that is abused and there is no need for it at all. I 'm sure that 99% of the forum wuld agree with me that cats and dogs should never be killed for food,fun or shock value.
As for the other 1% - I say 'Welcome back FC, I hope you liked China..' :D

That doesn't apply to everyone-I'm a strict vegetarian so I would never eat fois gras, veal etc so I object to the real animal cruelty in Cannibal Holocaust, Cannibal Ferox, Men Behind The Sun, The Holy Mountain, Santa Sangre etc in the same way I object to eating ANY meat. I was able to get through Santa Sangre and The Holy Mountain as the animal cruelty was short and I had been forewarned. however I will never sit through Cannibal Holocaust/Ferox, Men Behind The Sun this is my private choice. I disagree with those films being banned/cut but I would feel that I am encouraging animal mutilations/torture in films if I buy them on dvd and watch them.
Also one of my mates tricked me into watching Slaughterhouse by telling me it was like Tobe Hooper's The Funhouse (I didnt have the internet back then to find details about the film). Needless to say it featured real slaughterhouse scenes and I switched it off before puking. My mate said he was trying to desensitize me....Plus I'm dubious about watching A Bell From Hell cos that is also set in a slaughterhouse.
Havent yet seen A Serbian Film or The Guinea Pig films but since I was able to get through I Spit On Your Grave, the august underground films and Salo I might be able to get through them
