Yes vince, I thought the turtle scene was totally appalling and had no point other than to show how vicious the lost team of film makers were , but as this is displayed in many different ways thoughout the film then that scene was for basic shock value, nothing else, and totally unnecessary .
Its been a while from I watched my uncut version as its VHS (Dutch) but apart from the turtle and the Muskrat/knife scene , I find the rest of the film to be an acceptable protryal of jungle life, and not cruel . . I know a pig gets shot but I also remember reading that it was quite tasty , as the main location was only accessible by small plane so it was a welcome meal for cast and crew.
I just think the BBFC could pass Holocaust minus those two scenes , but use animal cruelty laws to wiggle out of it.
