I wouldn't bother about 4 animals being killed for a movie, whether they were used for food or not. We have seen animals

While I can understand killing for food, I think it was wrong how the turtle was killed.
They cut off all of it's legs and it's tail first then decapitate it.
Then, after cutting the bottom of it's shell, you can see it's heart is still beating and is possibly still alive (we have all heard the rumor that you can still live shortly after decapitation). Even if it didn't feel it, it is still disgusting that the people then went ahead and started scooping it's guts out and eating them. I love this film though, and I think it makes a great statement about humanity.
If you actually watched the scene more closely, you'd noticed that they decapitate the turtle first and then cut off its legs and tail. You got the order wrong.
I do agree with the statement about humanity though. Humans are capable of really terrible things.

I agree, this was such a vile scene for ANY movie- especially considering that most of that particular species lives just as long as the average human but it was also the music in these segments throughout that really sickened me. Upbeat music from like the original "Lolita" playing in the background. I've seen a lot of serious horror films lately, such as Irreversible, Henry, and A Serbian Film but that turtle slaying still disturbed me the most for some reason and I certainly ain't the PETA type either!
Look at how happy you are, so carefree. It's almost as if you don't know you're Billy Bush!-Triumph -

"All these animals will be dead anyway" - I wish you get trapped in an ever lasting dream of yourself and you're mum being butchered like the poor turtle every night!!! I am sure you'll be dying for some soup every morning. its one thing killing animals for food and use and its another things enjoying mutilation of a defenceless animal!
Human beings are shocking.. Id be glad if ebola spread and finished us all ffs -

watched it uncut lastnight, must say its up there in the most distirbing movies ever made, thers no need to kill animals, it knocked me sick the turtle, the monkey which was macheted, and the rat and pig.
people need to get arrested for doing such barbaric things. -

The turtle scene is far from disturbing unless you are a bleeding heart. If you have ever taken part in skinning your own game or fish you will find nothing of importance. People are entirely disconnected from the foods that they eat every day.
Shovel dog, is a disturbing thing to watch. And not because its furry, because its actual human evil. -

Remember the scene with the kids in The Giant when the kids learn that the turkey they played with is on the dinner table..in the old days people were more used to slaughtering animals , it just had to be done.
It's possible the ate the spider , they boil them in S America.
Still I don't like the thought of them doing it for purely entertainment (once saw a Moslem slaughter a sheep or goat but it didn't feel like exploiting , same with thais sacrificing a bull for a wedding..tons of blood , not that pleasant to watch) -

LOLThey killed a turtle and none of those stupid animal protect organizations protested against that nasty crime ?
UNBELIEVABLE
We live now at an age that killing and torturing humans is OK but when same thing happens to a dog.then the dude who did that must be executed or hanged.
REALLY WHEN THIS ANIMAL PARANOIA WILL END ?
Eli roth in his resent green inferno was so afraid to show wild animal cruelty that he did not even showed even real wild animals hanging out in the jungle.
