The law regards footage captured in a slaughterhouse, where the animals were getting killed regardless differently to staging it for the purpose of a film.
I have vegetarian friends who might argue the difference is spurious at best. HOWEVER, its a law in place that the BBFC have to take into account. I suspect 88 films release will have its audience the Raro one will too. It's such a grey area at best its up to the individual film fan in my opinion. I dislike it but dont want it removing as it should be there as a shameful reminder of how things used to be..
Still it does mean THIS might get a release in the UK someday (HINT HINT!) All captured in a working slaughterhouse so should pass ok...
