Cannibal Holocaust (1980)
Violence to animals

Although no people were hurt in the making of this film, a number of animals were unnecessarily tortured.
This film should therefore be banned. We cannot permit people to make entertainment from the pain of our fellow-creatures.
A rat was skinned on camera, squealing in pain.
A turtle was decapitated, dismembered and eaten.
A monkey was trapped and had its face cut off with a machete.
Although I have no problem with the depiction of violence in films, and I do not believe that free speech should be subject to censorship, this film indeed "goes to far". Free speech does not include torture.
