Turtle killing

To murder and to kill for a movie or for a cloth - in some cases species that are in extinction - and to create animals for rapidly kill for food are different things (even if animal creation with this purpose isn't nice too).

I should add that it wasn't a pet-sized turtle (so to speak) but a
really
big one. As big as a grown man's torso.

I enjoy this film, but the turtle scene is really shocking. There's a rat-like rodent they stab through the chin, which disturbed me too. I wasn't expecting to see live animals being executed.
In the turtle scene (as described by an above poster) they have some really freaky music.
If you want, take a look.

I have have watched any and every kind of horror movie there is but that scene did it for me.I told myself it couldnt be that bad and watched it through that link.when they decapitated the poor thing I felt a jolt through my body and a horrible headache following it.No other scene in history has ever hit me that.I agree,we really didn't need that scene.still in shock.Still want to see the film though.(without the animals)I can handle everything else.

@FreddyGSanford I got goosebumps and pain in my feet, which is how my body reacts when I'm shocked by something. I'm no horror buff, but there aren't many times when I have that reaction. At least with a horror movie you know that it's not real, not with that scene though.

Being on the internet, it's surprising to some degree that you've never seen any disturbing videos of
real
murders, accidents, etc. I guess if you never search for that kind of stuff you can avoid it, but usually someone, somewhere gives a link or talks about something (like the various beheadings) horrible either caught on tape, or intentionally filmed. Once you see that stuff, every horror movie in existence seems TAME by comparison.
yes quite disgusting because its a real animal.
As opposed to a fake animal?

I've seen plenty of real human deaths on film. Me and a couple friends were on that kick in college. We took every opportunity to watch. anything from beheadings to falls from buildings and mountains to the suicide of that politician which seemed staged because it was filmed in such loving detail as his blood gushed in a torrent from his mouth.
I barely flinched from any of it.
However, the muskrat and turtle scenes from CH were worse than all of those to me.
Probably because I believe in the future of the Earth and prefer humans die instead of animals.

Yeah I was like wtf when they killed that rodent. So unnecessary, nothing artistic about it. Pathetic. Needless to say, I didn't make it much further in the movie.
I can understand when a film has some controversial animal abuse scenes, like in Andrei Rublev, when it adds to the story, symbolism or characterization of the movie in some way. But this was just straight up sensationalism. A gory gimmick so sickos can watch an animal being killed.
