Severin can say what they like. If the BBFC 'have no legal basis for cutting animal cruelty' then they could be sued and defeated. They haven't been. |
Craig Lapper at the BBFC:
The Act only applies to the public exhibition of cinema films, However, we apply it to video and DVDs as a matter of BBFC policy. I'm sure that if we decided to allow animal cruelty on video/DVD it would cause a public backlash and the law would probably be extended to those formats anyway.
