Summary: Disregard for animals’ well-being.


Details:

1) A long scene late in the film shows a student setting all the reptiles, insects, and rodents loose in a college biology lab. Although we see no harm to any animal, there is stress and tension because predators and prey are turned loose on the floor together.

2) A caged leopard is exhibited throughout the film as a college basketball team’s mascot. There is no physical harm to the cat although psychological stress caused by the tiny cage and noisy environments is apparent.
