While some may think it's cruel to pin a lizard to the ground for the purposes of a shot in a film, it's not ILLEGAL according to the LAW in the UK.
I'm not a lawyer but I believe this shot will NOT be cut in the Arrow DEEP RED disc. |
I think you might be concentrating on the domesticated part too much though. The defining part is 'under the control of man' which it would have been for the shooting of the scene, if that's how it happened. Even if it's just under control temporarily, that's enough for the law to act.
