I regret that my favorite film has a rabbit being killed. It's the one thing on film I can't keep my eyes open during. I used to take in stray rabbits and it makes me feel positively sick to see that scene. Sadly, it is however a somewhat important motif. The rest of the film is great, except for that one moment. I think it's a self-absorbed and overzealous thing to believe that your artistic vision is important enough to kill an animal solely to enhance it. I also don't think it makes a person a hypocrite to eat meat and condemn hunting or the killing of animals for artistic purposes. There's a difference between killing to physically nourish people and killing to entertain yourself or others. Real killing is too frequent and too close to home to be entertaining.
