Yeah there were killings of animal taking place where they were filming Apocalypse Now and they used it in the film. There was a documentary on the film by Coppola's sister which showed pigs being killed in a very gruesome manner. I don't know if this doc has been classified by the BBFC (I saw it on BBC2) but there's no reason why they should cut it unpleasant as it was.
The BBFC only cut scenes of animal cruelty where there is a cruel infliction of pain. So scenes of dead animals being sliced up as shown in Nekromantik 2, Peter, would pass. In any case the scene was part of a film within a film. it didn't look like it was staged for the film.
