Summary: Depiction of kittens being injured
Details: A black-and-white film of “kitten juggling” mimics cock fighting, 1:12:50-1:13:30. First, three real kittens are picked up by the juggler. After a cutaway to Steve Martin’s horrified face, we return to what are obviously little stuffed kittens being juggled in such a way that they probably would be killed if they were real.
Are these kittens real? No. Have countless teenage assholes re-enacted this scene with real kittens? Absolutely. Did those kittens have their spines broken and their necks snapped and die horrible deaths while jackasses laughed? Yes. Stop this crap in movies.
