I have never seen Martino's Mountain of the Cannibal God but i've heard nasty shit about it. That would have to be another cut job.
Two of the kills (Turtle, crocodile) in FEROX are slaughter rather than 'cruelty'. The muskrat scene in HOLOCAUST is worse than all the animal scenes in FEROX put together IMO.

MOUNTAIN OF THE CANNIBAL GOD has excellent cinematography, a great score and the novelty of seeing two big stars wallow around in a Italian cannibal film. However, it contains one of the most unwatchable scenes from any of them and that's the Monkey slowly being swallowed by the snake. Truly horrible in every way, especially as it was forced into the snakes mouth by the crew (the scene was later re-used in EATEN ALIVE)
