We live in a society where it's necessary to eat meat for food.
But we don't live in a society where it's necessary to kill animals for a movie.
Unless these people were starving, or trained And experienced in killing animals humanely, hen they should not be allowed to just go and kill whatever they find. You realize that if I killed a wild squirrel, right now, it would be against the law? Wild animals are protected, and you can't hunt and kill them without a permit.
However, if the animal is farm raised, you're legally allowed to kill it without a license.
But morally, unless you have to kill something, it's pretty abhorrent to do it for entertainment purposes.

Most of them were eaten though, so does it really matter if they were killed on film or not? They probably would have been killed and eaten anyway. May as well get more than just food from it.

yes it does matter, it allows us to view someones suffering as entertainment and whittles away at our compassion for others.
no one should suffer for your entertainment, regardless of what happens to the body afterwards. -

Within the confines of the movie's plot, they kill the turtle with the intention of just getting food, but the enjoyment they get from the experience is one of the many things that show us how mentally unhinged the characters are.
It makes perfect sense that they do this, as delight in cruelty to animals is a well established indicator of psychopathy.
That said, if you're putting this scene into a movie, you should absolutely do it with special effects. Killing animals on film for entertainment purposes is just not right.
Yes, animals are killed every day, and this is accepted as fine by the majority of people. But the fact that this particular animal's death was totally unnecessary makes it morally wrong in my opinion. -

Now i know there are a lot of immature people who will respond with 'how cool' it is to see them die
I've heard many, many people praise this movie for many reasons and THIS is something that I literally NEVER heard..
