Cut required in accordance with BBFC Guidelines and policy."
It's a completely unnecessary scene, which Ruggero Deodato didn't even shoot (the producer did), but the BBFC's hands were tied by the Cinematograph (Animals) Act. Even so, the crocodile died a long time ago and the cut won't undo its suffering or death.
