Only cars aren't sentient beings and can't have cruelty inflicted on them.
Either way, my point stands: by removing scenes of animal cruelty it teaches the filmmaker that such practices will not, at least, be tolerated in this country and that they will not be able to profit from them.
And the chickens are "just there to be eaten" argument may be taken to task by some of the vegan and vegetarian members of the forums!
My main feeling that cutting Inferno feels remarkable folly is because cats eat mice on the hour, every hour and - set up or not - I can't justify seeing people feed their pet snakes live rodents whilst the BBFC removes something similar in a movie.
