As you say, the killing of the cow in Apocalypse was not planned to be in the movie. I think it was Coppola's wife who by chance found the natives performing the ritual and so they filmed it.
This thing with the donkey is another matter altogether. They were going to put it down anyway because it was old and ill, but setting it on fire? That's FUBAR.

In the film, the slaves get so hungry that they killed their donkey for food. "Diabolism" WTF?

"never does an animal need to be hurt (especially killed) on set furthermore: the fact that it didn't feature in the release demonstrates how it was simply a waste of life"
Maybe it was eaten.

How many chickens die each day to feed someone? Is a donkey better than a chicken?

If I see one more beep make mention of a chicken Holocaust well, I am on IMDb, so I guess I'd better get used to nutters.

Yeah, how many of us go to fancy restaurants for the sake of entertainment? There's a mongolian restaurant here in Glasgow that serves things such as zebra and kangaroo. Is THAT justified? Oh, we're happy to chomp on the flesh of these animals on a daily basis but killing one for art is wrong?

lol
You realize the reason he probably intentionally had the donkey killed was because he didn't have the budget for realistic effects?
All of you "omg I will not see this movie because of this" need to grow a set of balls and think realistically for a second. Go back to Michael Bay and his cgi ridiculousness if real filmmaking is too much for you to handle.

If he wanted to film his script in the first place, he should have worked around it. It's not that he didn't have the budget he didn't have the TALENT, period. By doing that, Von Trier is just as much a hack as Bay is.
