It's whether the BBFC would accept that the cockfight was not staged by the filmmakers and was something taking place and happened to be filmed, something which would be acceptable under the guidelines and the Cinematograph (Animals) Act. Short of a letter from Michele Massimo Tarantini to say what happened on the film set, similar to what happened with Dario Argento and the Arrow release of Deep Red because of the lizard, the cockfighting was always going to be cut.
