What troubles me about some of those who remind us of animal rights, is that they can be selective.
For example, it is wholly unacceptable for anything remotely cute - such as a muskrat, a monkey or a turtle (all butchered or deliberately sent to their deaths in several Italian cannibal productions) - to be messed with.
But those same people might squash a fly, spider or even rodent to death in their own houses (it's doesn't take much more effort and is less messy to throw the creatures outside instead, but sadly chasing flying/scuttling beasts around the house with weapons has become something of a sport in some households).
As novakru points out, would human "snuff" be more palatable than on-screen animal cruelty?
