What animal cruelty?

You guys are weird. So they killed a few animals for real in a movie that was made a long time ago lets see what we still do today shall we?
a) Killing chickens for food is big business, and many many chickens endure minutes of high voltage electricity before they die (I know this for a fact as I have worked in that industry). Nobody cares.
b) Transportation of chickens, cows, bulls, sheep and other animals used for food in the western world is some of the worst of its kind. With no space to move, and no food for days, they are slowly starved before finally killed. Nobody cares.
c) Killing of bulls for food in the western world is a procedure best not told of here, as most people would embark into membership of PETA over it. Suffice it to say, what they did to the turtle is NOTHING compared to that. Again, nobody cares.
Yes, but they are not killed for "entertainment" in front of the camera and that's the difference.
Every day in our modern and civilized society, mass production of food causes extreme animal cruelty and pain. Nobody even blinks. The director here showed something for real, and everyone is in an uproar. I find that double moralistic and silly.
Wait, what?
Oh btw, Cannibal Holocaust is a very bad movie. And Ciardi looks like she is a crack addict in it. Bad script, bad execution and bad mood makes this a turkey. Only because people was in an uproar over the animal killings and the "impalement" of the girl that this movie reached cult status.
no it's not. It's actually very well shot movie and lot better scripted the other movies of it's caliber. You're just slapping generic "Uhh, bad this, bad that, bad this".
So who are we to condemn the director for something that the tribes down there do almost every day? Its a crazy world
Wait, what?
I am not saying this to troll or to be sarcastic, but exactly how is it considered animal cruelty in this film when the animals killed where either dead or dying by the first actual hit? I would agree totally if they ripped the animal to pieces while it was still alive, but they didn't they killed it first. You have to eviscerate an animal after killing it to get to the good pieces, and we know that the animals were eaten so I am failing to see the torture here.
You probably watched cut version, because in uncut version I had, there was several gruesome scenes involving animals, which is why rest of the staged cruelty is so effective. (tribe cannibal scenes) -

Always found it funny that this gets attacked while
Apocalypse Now
and
Land Without Bread
killed animals on screen.

I've seen chickens killed in a food documentary. It was not a case of cruelty for the sake of a film, it was a case of a film about the food industry and how this particular farmer and his son were raising free-range chickens with no added chemicals or antibiotics or steroids that were healthier and happier than those raised on commercial chicken farms.
If you want to see REAL animal cruelty, check out some of the food documentaries on Netflix streaming, especially those that expose the conditions at commercial poultry farms and such. In particular, turkeys raised on such farms for food have been engineered to have breasts so large they can't even walk or copulate normally, and they pack thousands of them into a barn where some die and are simply trampled by the others until people come along and discard their carcasses.
Commercial meat farming is a messy and pretty damned cruel business, unfortunately. I say so, because I happen to love meat and poultry. -

a monkey having its head cut open; a turtle being decapitated and disemboweled (extremely close shot of the head and legs being cut off and it's shell being pulled open; this spills out the animal's guts which are torn out by some men and eaten); a pig being kicked and then shot; a coati having its throat cut; and a tarantula spider and a snake being cut in two with a machete.

I guess you have never killed an animal for food in real life. They clearly show it's head being cut off first. Even after you kill something the limbs still move, it is just the nerves in the body firing off as the rest of the body dies.
