I have never understood the reasoning behind that cut. |
Documentary footage of animals attacking and eating other animals is not prohibited by law. The BBFC though are not allowed to pass similar footage in films where it appears the scene was set up/orchestrated by the film makers. The cat/mouse scene in Inferno may seem harmless enough but the BBFC will want to know where the film makers got the footage from (it appears to be on the Inferno set) and how it was achieved. Seems no doubt to me that the mouse was put there for the cat to attack.
