Yes you might be right about the scene in Ferox being the result of an accident as I re-watched the scene several times. Not sure about a pot hole though, looks like they were just driving over very rough ground. Couldn't tell for sure if the animal fell out or jumped out but the fact that a rope was tied around it meant that it was going to swing back against the vehicle. When the film is up for re-submission I think the BBFC should review this scene and consider waiving the cut. It only lasts 2 seconds by the way and not 6s as listed on their website.
Killing animals on film by the way is fine as long as it's done swift and humanely. The BBFC rarely, if ever, cut scenes showing chickens having their heads cut off.
